the strand
Townsville’s Strand is a 2.2 km beachfront promenade just minutes from the city heart. It is one of
Townsville’s premier destinations and has redefined recreational facilities for health and leisure in the city.
It is Townsville’s most recognisable attraction, straddling the ocean between the CBD and the offshore
reaches of Magnetic Island; it is where Townsville meets the sea.
The Strand is not just a beach; the precinct is a significant multi-use facility and tourist destination, which
provides the opportunity for people of all ages to be physically active in their daily life.

regular basis, through exercise or recreational activities:
>> Bike and walkway paths along the oceanfront
>> Safe swimming beaches
>> A water park
>> Barbeque and picnic facilities

>> Kiosks, cafés, restaurants and bars
