BOWEN
Calling Code: +61
If Airlie Beach is the party animal
of the Whitsundays, then Bowen must surely be the
Berocca.
In the cocktail shaker of Queensland tourist destinations, Bowen is the mango daiquiri to Airlie's martini.
With its yawningly wide streets and gracious heritage buildings, Bowen's charm is captured in the canvas which still adorns its movie theatre streets.
The eight award-winning beaches positioned in delicate
bays lend Bowen much of its understated charm.
Rose Bay Resort, which offers absolute beachfront accommodation, is a gorgeous bud on the tip of the Whitsundays tree.
From the front yard of the four-and-a-half-star property, you can snorkel over delicious coral 50 metres off shore, or laze in a bath tub with a view of the ocean.
Around the corner at Horseshoe Bay, take the time
to dine at the cafe where delights made from local produce await. There's also
the more upmarket 360 On The Hill, a gastronomical gem which serves panoramic
views of Bowen's sleepy hollow along with five-star dining.
And if that's not enough to whet your appetite for Bowen, make sure you visit one of her many fruit or vegetable factories before you leave. You'll never look at a capsicum the same way again.
If there's a place you've stayed or something you've done, but we haven't listed, review it for us!
