Fraser Coast Beaches

Fraser Coast's beaches and coastline are unique as they are greatly influenced by Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Straits.  Our warm sheltered waters provide safe swimming and water activities for all ages.

Fishing is a past time enjoyed by many, whether it be off the beach, from the iconic Urangan Pier or at one of the many creeks, rivers and estuaries in the region.

Council is developing a for its 112 km of open ocean coastline which stretches from Burrum Heads to Tinnanbar. 

Protected Vegetation

In areas like Toogoom you may notice dead or fallen trees on the beach in these areas.  These have been purposefully left to provide habitat for marine and other coastal species.

Smelly Seagrass

Dead seagrass that washes up on our beaches often gets smelly as it breaks down in the sun.  Whether dead or alive, seagrasses provide important habitat for many animals.
