WELCOME TO WOODGATE<br />
STEP BACK IN TIME TO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN TAKE<br />
LONG WALKS ALONG A SECLUDED STRETCH OF PRISTINE<br />
WHITE BEACH, WHERE CARAVANING CONNECTS FRIENDS,<br />
FAMILIES AS WELL AS STRANGERS, AND THE PUB<br />
IS STILL FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED.<br />
This is Woodgate Beach, a coastal town with a tightknit<br />
community of about 1000 people and located<br />
about 40km east of Childers and 55km south of<br />
Bundaberg. Offering all the charm of a quaint coastal<br />
town, Woodgate Beach is dotted with 1950s beach<br />
shacks and Queenslanders providing a nostalgic<br />
ambience <strong>for</strong> its visitors.<br />
Flocking to the 16km stretch of coastline are people<br />
keen to experience relaxation at its finest in a largely<br />
untouched paradise. Offering a host of secluded<br />
picnic areas and ideal fishing spots <strong>for</strong> prawning and<br />
crabbing, Woodgate is also popular with those who<br />
enjoy the rugged terrain suitable <strong>for</strong> four-wheel driving.<br />
After a day of exploring the surrounding areas that take<br />
in the Burrum Coast National Park, visitors can enjoy a<br />
cold beer at the Woodgate Beach Hotel.<br />
Overlooking the beach and offering a relaxed casual<br />
atmosphere, the Woodgate Beach Hotel is a place<br />
where locals and tourists mingle like old friends.<br />
