Tannum Sands

Boyne Island and Tannum Sands sit on a scenic stretch of the Gladstone Region coastline and offer a relaxed, coastal lifestyle. The twin towns are known for warm conditions that support year-round swimming and a wide range of water activities. Stand up paddle-boarding, jet skis, wind sports and paragliding are often seen along the shoreline.

The foreshore features landscaped parkland, playgrounds, barbecues and fitness areas. The Turtleway Bikeway runs for many kilometres and links the main facilities of both towns. It is popular with walkers, cyclists and families.

Fishing options are close by. Lake Awoonga is known for large barramundi and mangrove jack, and offshore reef access is also within reach.

Visitors can enjoy shaded spots along the beach where forest meets sea and spend a quiet day by the water. Boyne Island and Tannum Sands appeal to travellers who enjoy nature, coastal scenery and outdoor activities.
