Horseshoe Bay Rotary Lookout

Reviewed By CodyMav - Gold Coast, Australia

The Horseshoe Bay Rotary Lookout is accessed from a small carpark at the cove below, with a well signposted "rough" trail that takes you to an engineered gantry to atop a large rock. It's an adventure The sights when you get there are well worth the extra effort.

Summergarden Theatre

Reviewed By Voila11

What a gem of a theatre is the 1940s art deco Summergarden Cinema. And what a gem of a film was 'Slim and I'. Immensely rich in characters and song- so much I didn't know about this Aussie legend and his amazing wife. A perfect cinema for this film with friendly staff who really looked after their patrons. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Bowen Water Park Playground

Reviewed By Adventurers049 - Brisbane, Australia

This water park is located on the waterfront of the town. It is a great spot for the kids to safely play and get very wet, which is what it is all about.

The Big Mango

Australia’s favourite BIG THING (in our opinion anyway!) is also the home of Bowen's accredited Visitor Information Centre! Situated on the A1 Bruce Hwy with sweeping views of the Whitsunday coast it’s the perfect pull over during the epic East Coast Australian Roadtrip. Get your selfie then pop into the accredited Information Centre on site for all the info on our great state of Queensland. Grab an icy cold mango sorbet and learn about Bowen, the wonderful Whitsunday region, book a Whitsunday experience, grab a map, guide book, have a chat and a cuppa! Happy Travels!

Always wanted to see the Big Mango. Great little stop to get a photo and sit down and have some ice cream. The Mango ice cream was beautiful as was the mango sorbet. The kids had the chocolate ice cream and that was beautiful too. Served in cups the servings were massive. Picked up a hat pin for my collection too lol. The ladies in the information area were great. Lots of info and brochures and advice. Definitely recommend a stop here.
