Mackay Harbour is easily one of my favourite spots in town. I visited back in July and the weather was absolutely top notch—crisp, sunny, and perfect for being outdoors. ​It’s the ultimate place to just kick back and relax. Whether you're into fishing, or just want to chill out with a few mates, the vibe here is unbeatable. If you head down in the late afternoon or early evening, keep your eyes peeled because you can often spot dolphins swimming near the breakwater! ​It's also an ideal track for a long walk to clear your head and de-stress after a busy day. Such a peaceful atmosphere and a must-visit if you're in the Mackay region. Always leave here feeling refreshed.
