Lovers Bay
Lovers Bay is a small secluded bay on the northern side of Magnetic Island between Five Beach bay and Horseshoe Bay. It is located approximately 14.3 km from the Palleranda Boat ramp and has the following GPS coordinates S19 06 19.7 E146 49 57.7 Google Maps Link Lovers Bay is only accessible by boat and has a shoreline consisting mostly of large boulders surrounded by trees and undergrowth. There is a very small sheltered section of beach which is ideally suited for landing a kayak or small boat. The bay is located on the edge of the GBMPA Green Zone, so fishing is not permitted within the bay, but once you round the northern headland you are outside of the Green zone and fishing is allowed. There is a small stretch of sand and coral rubble above the high tide zone where a tent could be set up. Climbing over the boulders on the northern headland presents some excellent photo opportunities as well as exposing a continuous rocky coastline extending approx 800m t
