Hervey Bay

By bike

There is 18km of waterfront cycleway, starting from Urangan and going to Point Vernon, and there is never a need to cycle on the Esplanada. If you want to make better time the backstreets tend to be wide, flat and quiet. A bicycle is quite an ideal way to see Hervey, because with the towns spread over abour 10km, it is a little far to walk, and a car seems unnecessary. The two bike hire places make prices competitive.

The layout of the cycleway should inspire even the most lycra-averse to get on a bike, with possibilities of stopping for coffee, ice-cream, a swim or a beer, every couple of kilometres along the path.
