Rosslyn Bay & Beaches

Rosslyn Bay Harbour is situated seven kilometres south of Yeppoon on the coastal road to Emu Park. It is the departure point for ferries to Great Keppel Island and for a range of cruising and bareboat charters around Keppel Bay. Rosslyn Bay is a man-made harbour and is an easily accessible fishing option. To the north of the Harbor is Statue Bay and to the south is Double Head.

Double Head is an ancient volcanic plug formed over 70 million years ago and boasts fantastic geological formations. There is a quality bush walk to the summit where, you will see stunning views of the Keppel Islands and also be in an exciting position to view the below coastline and volcanic formations.

Rosslyn Bay is also home to Keppel Bay Marina, the largest marina in Northern Queensland. A must do, whilst visiting the Marina, is to take a stroll around the docks and marvel at the luxurious boats moored in the 290 berths. The Marina also has a Cafe where you can enjoy a meal whilst overlooking the water.

Before departing Rosslyn Bay stop off at the Fisherman’s Co-op and sample some locally caught reef fish, prawns, bugs and mud crabs.

The Capricorn Coast has many long stretches of beach and secluded bays, all of which have been touched by the legacy of Captain James Cook, who sailed through the bay in the year 1770. Lammermoor, Kinka, Mullambin and Kemp beaches, Cooee Bay and the Causeway Lake, all line the Capricorn Coast offering many pleasures, wonderful accommodation and so much beauty you will never want to leave. Yeppoon Main Beach and Emu Park Main Beach are the two patrolled beaches along the coastline, however all beaches offer good swimming conditions and picnic tables and facilities are provided in most locations.
