4Oaks Beach

Oaks Beach at Burnett Heads is popular with residents and visitors.

Local residents reckon it's the Bundaberg Region's best-kept secret but sometimes they're happy to share. It may be a small area for swimming, but Oaks Beach is as good as anywhere in Queensland to take a dip or soak up some rays.

5Get on your bike

Mon Repos Beach is not just for turtles
Mon Repos Beach is not just for turtles. It's also a great place to swim, walk or cycle.

We mentioned the Turtle Trail but if you don't want to ride 11km to Bargara, start in Burnett Heads and take the scenic route to Mon Repos and you won't be disappointed. It's also just a short ride from Burnett Heads to Bundaberg Port Marina in the other direction.
