Horseshoe Bay is Bowen's most iconic beach and a favourite for locals and visitors alike. The beach is framed by two granite outcrops which provide a haven for a wonderful range of fish and coral just a short swim from the beach. There is also a little resort next to the car park. This is taken from Rotary Outlook which is about 10 min walk from the carpark.
