Townsville

Townsville is your gateway to the natural beauty that awaits in this spectacular region. Stay on one of the nearby islands and spend the day snorkelling clear blue waters teeming with colourful fish or be a castaway on a secluded island beach or sandy cay.

Head up to Mission Beach and explore a hidden rainforest township right on the coast or go across to Magnetic Island and stay at gay and lesbian friendly guesthouses and B&Bs. Townsville also has it own gay-friendly accommodation options or head up to Shelley Beach and enjoy your own private stretch of sand along this gay-friendly beach.
