All about Orchid Beach
Orchid Beach is a popular holiday destination on the northern part of the World Heritage-listed Fraser Island near Hervey Bay. Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and is the only place on Earth where you will see tall, ancient rain forests growing from sand dunes. With more than 250 kilometres of coastline, coloured sand cliffs, spectacular lakes, and an abundance of local wildlife, there is an abundance of natural beauty to enjoy on Fraser Island.
Orchid Beach itself boasts almost 15 kilometres of white sandy beach and its calm, clear waters make it popular for boating and swimming. The town is an ideal base for a more relaxing stay on Fraser Island, as it offers peaceful seclusion while still being close to most of the stunning attractions including Champagne Pools, Ocean Lake, Orange Creek, Platypus Bay, and the Cape Lighthouse. Dining options here are limited, but it’s hard to beat the town’s fresh seafood and oceanside pubs.
What are the top things to do in Orchid Beach?
Lake McKenzie
Fraser Island is home to over 40 freshwater lakes, but the most unique is McKenzie Lake. It boasts crystal clear blue water and soft white sand that squeaks when you walk on it. The lake’s water is so transparent it’s almost like you’re swimming in a pool. This is due to it being a perched lake, meaning it is only filled with rainwater and is not fed by streams or creeks, creating the clear blue water effect. The lake is also surrounded by ancient rainforests making for a truly beautiful natural experience.
Indian Head
Take a trip out to the far northern end of 75 Mile Beach to Indian Head, the island's most easterly point. From here you’ll have breathtaking panoramic views of the island’s coastline and rolling dunes. This is also a great place to find local wildlife along the shore — and depending on the season, you could spot bluefish, manta rays, sharks, whales, dolphins, and turtles. There’s also a chance you’ll come across the island’s protected dingoes, but be sure to keep a safe distance.
75 Mile Beach
Book a four-wheel drive vehicle and take a journey on the most iconic beach highway in the world. The Great Sandy Highway on Fraser Island’s 75 Mile Beach has its own road signs, speed limits, and even speed cameras. Along the way you will find many spots of interest to stop and explore including the swimmable Champagne Pools and Eli Creek, but due to the dangerous riptides and high presence of sharks in the open waters, it’s best to avoid a dip in the ocean here.
