Horseshoe Bay (Bowen, QLD)

Just a quick note on Bowen. We spent a couple of days there and found the town itself to be unremarkable, but we were really surprised at how beautiful Horseshoe Bay was. It is just a few kilometres out of Bowen and has apparently been recognized as one of Australia's top beaches - we would have to agree. It is a little cove with beautiful white sand and deep, clear water. We camped at the caravan park just a few meters from the beach. It felt a bit like a retirement village, but we loved the location. Would love to go back for a holiday one day.
