Woodgate Beach & Burrum Coast National Park
Woodgate
A quiet beach about 16 km long beside Hervey Bay, next to Burrum Coast National Park, where eastern grey kangaroos often graze on the grass by the sea at dawn.
Woodgate lies about 45 km south of Bundaberg and has a gentle beach roughly 16 km long facing Hervey Bay. It is rarely crowded. On the south side of the town is Burrum Coast National Park, where timber boardwalks wind through paperbark swamps, banksia woodland and mangroves. It's a good spot for birdwatching, and at dawn and dusk eastern grey kangaroos are often seen grazing on the grass and along the beach. The area suits fishing, walking and kayaking, with shallow water. The water is calmest in winter, when the winds are light. Facilities in town are basic, with holiday cottages and camping grounds available.
