Located 15 minutes from Hervey Bay on Queensland’s Fraser Coast region, River Heads is a major departure point for vehicles and walk on passengers to World Heritage-listed Fraser Island and has magnificent views of Fraser Island, the Great Sandy Strait and the Mary River estuary. The boat ramp is suitable for launching a large range of craft and there is ample car and trailer parking available. Rock fishing at the point will give you a good opportunity to land yourself an impressive catch as well as giving you the chance to admire the dolphins, turtles and dugongs which frequently pass by.
Barges to the world’s largest sand island (Fraser Island) depart daily from River Heads to both Kingfisher Bay Resort and Wanggoolba Creek.
