Yepoon, Queensland

The Capricorn Coast is a favourite with families and at the heart of it, about 38km northeast of Rockhampton, sits Yeppoon. This coastal gem is the gateway to the Coral Sea and the ideal spot for some summer fun in the sun.

Renowned for its beaches, tropical vibe, and with national parks and islands like Great Keppel within its reach, this is an enclave packed with appeal.

Yeppoon’s charming waterfront esplanade boasts an enticing public infinity edge lagoon and state-of-the-art zero depth water play area, and offers walking paths, playgrounds, BBQ and picnic areas to enjoy.

Where to stay: Surfside Motel is ideally positioned across the road from the beach and within proximity of children’s playgrounds, restaurants, shops, and public transport. This retro offering is comfortable, all rooms self-contained and with Wi-Fi included, you won’t want to leave.
