Sightseeing

One of the easier walks on the island & one of the most likely to see Koala's. The walk leads up to the Word War 2 gun emplacements & the two forts, passing the remains of the living quarters, ammunition stores etc. There are many beautiful views of various bays along the way to the Forts.

Magnetic Island Museum at Picnic Bay. Some great photo's of the early days of Maggie. Check the opening hours as it is not open every day.

Parks & Nature

From the start of the Fort's walk, take the bitumen road down to Radical Bay. Along the way you pass Arthur Bay & Florence Bay which are suitable for swimming & snorkelling. Radical Bay is a long walk so make sure you take water & when you arrive, enjoy the beauty of this amazing location. The road is only to be attempted by an experienced 4 wheel driver as the pot holes are enormous, so if in doubt, walk down.

Entertainment & Activities

Ther is a very professional cabaret show every Friday & Saturday night with a 3 course meal. It's just another unexpected gem on Maggie. Because I can only pick one place for each category I just have to include `The World Famous Toad Races' at the Arcadia Hotel on Wednesday night.
