Bowen Hotels & Motels

Bowen is situated on the Whitsunday Coast in Queensland, between Townsville and Airlie Beach. Surrounding Bowen are several beaches and coves backed by attractive parkland and picnic areas. The beaches include Horseshoe Bay, Rose Bay, Murray Bay and Coral Bay. There is a pleasant walk along the beachfront past all of the beautiful bays, as well as a lookout at Horseshoe Bay. If you don't fancy the walk, you can also drive to Horseshoe Bay. Along with the beachfront parkland you will also find Mullers Lagoon. This large park offers more pleasant walks, plenty of open grass areas, as well as an attractive lake. There are reefs waiting to be discovered just off the beaches of Horseshoe Bay, Grays Bay, Murray Bay and Rose Bay.

Bowen Holiday Accommodation

Bowen is a jewel in the Whitsunday crown with untouched beaches, beautiful bays and a perfect tropical climate. Bowen is one of the undiscovered treats of Queensland and an ideal destination for those seeking a laidback beach holiday. Bowen is situated in the northern region of the Whitsundays on the shores of Edgecumbe Bay, just 40 minutes drive north from Airlie Beach. It's a picturesque seaside town that offers a beachcomber's paradise with eight award-winning, palm-fringed beaches to explore plus great reef, beach and estuary fishing. There are several attractive buildings in Bowen, including the Courthouse and the Art Deco Bowen Post Office. You will pass these and many more on the walking trail around town.

 

The azure waters of the Whitsundays lap the shores of Bowen's tropical beaches, recognized as some of Queensland's most pristine. The most popular are Horseshoe Bay and Queens Beach but visitors are well provided for at most of the beaches in the Bowen area with facilities including barbecues, picnic tables, children's playgrounds and neatly maintained parkland areas, the ideal location for a family day out by the beach. With some of the best fringing reefs of the Queensland coast lying just a few metres offshore from it's not surprising that the area attracts snorkellers and divers keen to explore the coral gardens. Bowen is now home to the famous Big Mango. This is situated next to the Bowen Visitor Information Centre.
