Farnborough Beach
Beachside Holiday Caravan Park is nestled along 500 metres of beautiful Farnborough Beach, which runs for seventeen kilometres to the north of Yeppoon! This glorious, unpatrolled sandy beach with direct access from the caravan park, offers endless opportunities for beach activities and watersports all year round. There is a patrolled beach just 1km away at Yeppoon Main Beach.
For the fisherman at heart, you can cast your line directly from the beach in front of the caravan park or maybe try your luck at one of several places nearby from estuarine creeks, reef or ocean fishing. Launch your boat from the nearby Keppel Bay marina or maybe take a fishing charter while staying.
Yeppoon Lagoon is the jewel in the crown of the Yeppoon Foreshore Precinct. With its its beachfront location just 1500 metres easy walk from Beachside with 2500 square-metres of resort style infinity pool. The recreation precinct also incorporates Keppel Kraken water play area, playground, mini bike track and skate park facilities catering for all ages and abilities.
