Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is a coastal city with beaches so beautiful even the whales have caught wind of them.

Between July and November, you can spot humpback whales raising their young in this broad bay on Queensland’s southern coast. See these graceful creatures up close on a cruise or try spotting from the sandy shoreline. Check out the esplanade for casual cafés or hit the marina for chic waterfront dining. On a Friday evening, you can meet local artists at the weekly markets here.
