Townsville is one of the leading gateways to the world-famous Great Barrier Reef and Magnetic Island, which is known for its secluded beaches. Generally, it is popular among tourists because of its year-round sunshine and abundant national parks. The Strand, a famous beachfront promenade, attracts tourists with its laidback, tropical vibe. If you are into outdoor recreation, you can explore Nelly Bay and Geoffrey Bay by snorkeling along a self-guided, marked trail. Another activity worth trying is climbing the spectacular Castle Hill, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. There is no doubt that this city is one of the country’s major family holiday destinations.
