What it is
The marina lies inside the breakwaters of Mackay Harbour, the port that ships sugar and other cargo from the region. Yachts and fishing boats moor here, and the marina village has cafés and restaurants facing the water.
A path leads out along the breakwater with views of the harbour and the Coral Sea, and Harbour Beach, a long patrolled beach, lies just to the south.
Getting there by bus
Route 304 serves Mackay Harbour, stopping at Mulherin Dr at Mackay Harbour, about four minutes on foot from the marina village. The route connects with the city centre, where you can change to other Mackay routes.
Services to the harbour are less frequent than in the centre, so check the timetable for your return trip.
