Situated 4km northeast of Bowen lies the stunning Queens Beach. As a popular swimming spot for visitors and locals, the serene beach is netted to keep the poisonous stingers out, and there are BBQs spotted along the beachfront - perfect for a late lunch or early dinner on a summer evening.
The winter weather is magical, and it is just another feature that lures fishermen and women to flock to Queens beach for the whiting that school in abundance along the Beach. The reef varieties that thrive off Bowen include coral trout, sweetlip, and red emperor as well.
Every September, Bowen hosts one of Australia's richest fishing events, the Family Fishing Classic which offers prizes of more than $70,000 to anglers of all ages.
Fishing is a bonus in this tropical, coastal town whose relaxed, friendly lifestyle is the heart of Bowen's charm.
