Nothing pairs better with over 7,000 km of gorgeous coastline than a string of beachside pubs to chill at. Beach views are of course a part of the deal. Here is a list of the best beachside pubs in Queensland Australia.
The Ellis Beach Bar and Grill enjoys a very privileged position framed by the Coral Sea upfront and the rustic Kuranda National Park at the back. This is one of the best off the beaten path type pubs for enjoying a relaxed day. Order your favourite cold brew and enjoy the laidback vibes. You may want to hang around Sunday Session at Ellis with promises of live music and oysters for a mere one dollar.
Townsville certainly is popular amongst the tourists; the area's stunning surroundings probably have much to do with it. You can enjoy a stint at the sunny Long Board Bar and Grill from well located Townsville Australia hotels. Just six minutes from the bar is Oaks Townsville Gateway Suites, a popular option amongst tourists needing a place close to all the main attractions. As for the Long Boar Bar and Grill, the place sits on the Headlands and faces the iconic Magnetic Island. Therefore, you can look forward to grills, surf and the best beer in Queensland. Oh, did you forget the utterly gorgeous views?
Once called the Miami Tavern this fully refurbished pub, now called The Miami is an iconic beachside pub. The modern makeover, however, has not spoiled the pub's old-fashioned ambience and offers one a laidback experience to relax and get to know the locals. The views are breathtaking and you will find it the perfect elixir for enjoying your drinks.
This sunny bar is located on the iconic Fitzroy Island National Park in Cairns. Enjoy a fabulous spot beside the Great Barrier Reef and the lush environs of a tropical rain forest. Foxy's is the ideal spot for a drink and bite to eat once you are done chilling on the beach or snorkelling off the Great Barrier.
Townville is perfect for beach vibes and so this second bar must be given special mention. Marlin Bar is located on Magnetic Island and is popular for its array of sundowners or get there early and savour a long and laid-back lunch. Just 8 km from the mainland the bar is easy to reach from your Townsville hotel and certainly will not disappoint in terms of enjoyment. Located in front of the pretty Horseshoe Bay Lagoon this is the ideal chill spot.
A sunny beachside pub, Baillie's Bar is located on Heron Island 72 km from the mainland. The distance is worth it though, for experiences you will appreciate long after your holiday is done. Plenty of nature, sea breezes and sea views are yours to savour as you enjoy a drink and meal on the outdoor terrace. Plan to spend the day on Heron Island and you won't be disappointed.
