The area, in the heart of the sapphire coast, has excellent coastal scenery, beaches, and as usual, access to the excellent Great Dividing Range national parks. Also worth a visit are Magic Mountain - a mini theme park, nestled in the bushlands on the hill directly to the town's north, and the town's aquarium.
