Clairview, Tropical Queensland Coast

The quaint little township of Clairview is located right on the Queensland coastline, about 120km south of Mackay.   The park on the northern edge of town, with beach frontage, is a fantastic spot to stop for lunch and recharge before tackling the Bruce Highway again.

The waters around Clairview provide a protected sanctuary for Dugongs, an endangered herbivorous sea mammal.

Fun Fact:  Clairview boasts the only ocean view from the Bruce Highway, between Bowen to the north and the Gold Coast to the south.

Fishing is the popular activity here with a good variety of fish on offer as well as mud crabs.

Barracrab Caravan Park provides a range of accommodation options for travellers, and we can highly recommend a stay here – we love the coastal vibe!  We have overnighted here in an ensuited bungalow on our way to visit family in Townsville.
