Millennium Esplanade and Tannum Sands Beach

For over 50 years, the esplanade beach areas of Tannum Sands has served as the principal destination for passive and active beachside pursuits for the Gladstone Region. Located just 20 kilometres south of Gladstone on the Central Queensland coast, this coastal foreshore area provides individual pavillions which provide intimacy and cool, weather proof refuges which make the most of the ocean views.

Kids will enjoy the amazing playground and flying fox, grassed areas for playing footy and pathways to enjoy riding scooters and bikes. The adults haven’t been forgotten either, with free gas barbecue facilities. There are also a number of beach showers and toilet blocks for public use – all within a few steps of Tannum Sands main beach.

If you’re feeling energetic take a walk up the stairway to Peter’s Park where you will be greeted with a spectacular view of the Esplanade and Beach.

Lifeguards patrol the beach from September to May each year. The Tannum Sands Surf Lifesaving Club, located along Millennium Esplanade, is open to the public on weekends for meals and snacks.
