The Seabreeze Hotel
72 Pacific EsplanadeSituated at Lamberts Beach
Beach
A beautiful beach with views of the islands and Hay Point. This is the only local beach that does not have huge tidal water levels. Visit the Lamberts lookout on the way, the Seabreeze Hotel for great food, company, and live events on the weekends, or take the kids to the beachside playground while you soak up the beautiful surroundings. Late in the year, the foreshore trees in Ram Chandra Park are alive with black cockatoos.

Cape Hillsborough is a 45 min drive to the north of Mackay but a must-do experience if you can fit it in while you are here. Turn up before dawn to be surrounded by the magnificent kangaroos as they gather to be fed by the local ranger. It really is a breathtaking morning that you will never forget!
Once you leave, it is a short trip to Ball Bay, Halliday Bay, The Old Tea House, and Seaforth – the gateway to the southern Whitsunday Islands.
