Yeppoon Foreshore & Lagoon
Yeppoon Foreshore
A seaside resort town on the Capricorn Coast, with a free infinity-edge lagoon pool facing the Keppel Islands, linked to a walkway and cafés.
Yeppoon is the central town of the Capricorn Coast, about 40 km from Rockhampton. A seafront walkway runs along the main beach. The Yeppoon Lagoon is a free infinity-edge pool with views out to the Keppel Islands, ideal for children to swim and sunbathe. Nearby are a water playground, barbecue areas, and seafood restaurants. A market is held on weekend mornings. In summer, jellyfish may be present in the sea (box jellyfish season runs roughly November to May), so swim in the lagoon or in areas with protective nets. Parking in town is easy, and you can combine a visit with Rosslyn Bay and Emerald Bay.
