After arriving and settling in at your hotel, you might want to venture out and explore everything Torquay has to offer. If you can’t wait to check out the beaches, head to Toogoom Beach or Gables Point Beach for a relaxing day by the water. Take advantage of the area’s whale watching, and make time for local attractions like Shelly Beach and Duggan Conservation Park. Other things to see and do in the area are Hervey Bay Botanic Garden and Stockland Hervey Bay Shopping Centre.
