Tips from locals
Only eight kilometers off the coast of Townsville, Magnetic Island (affectionately known as "Maggie" by the locals) is technically a suburb of Townsville. True to its name, this rugged and rocky island is one of the top day trips from Townsville, luring many visitors thanks to its beautiful beaches, calm bays, and abundant wilderness areas.
Full of awesome hiking trails, beaches and awesome food! A must when in Townsville.
