Urangan Pier Hervey Bay — Attraction in Urangan

It's hard to review a pier, after all, you walk to one end and walk back again. This is a very very long pier and seems very popular. There were heaps of people fishing from it. The water is quite clear and was very shallow when we were there. There are no chairs along the way if you wanted to sit for a,bit, which is a shame. At the beginning of the pier are a few gift shops and cafes, including an ice cream shop selling Maleny Dairies ice cream. I didn't even know Maleny Dairies did ice cream! Another unusual store is the one that specialises in hats. We were there on a Saturday and there were some markets on which were quite good. There is a path from the pier that runs all the way along the coast for ages. There are several cafes, parks and playgrounds along the walk. All in all, it's a pleasant way to spend an...

The pier is a great place. Being a fisherman it is the main reason I visit Hervey Bay.

Everyone has to walk the pier at least one. It's part of the history of Hervey Bay. But remember, it's a long walk and it can get very hot, so take water and a hat, and takes some breaks along the way. Great photo opportunity. And when you get back you can take a break at one of the cafes or ice cream shop. The markets are held twice a month and have some very good craft stalls and fresh fruit and veges. A great way to spend a couple of hours in a nice location. Great walk along the pier. Must do it on sunset to experience the full beauty of the place. Plenty of people fishing. Nice to see so many families and couples enjoying this experience. Make sure the kids use bathroom before you...
