Another beach you say? No, this is paradise. It is Horseshoe Bay in Bowen, Queensland and Bowen is our favourite place so far. It is a lovely, small relaxed town in north Queensland where we found THE perfect beach and no crocodiles. There are No Camping signs all over the town so we were forced to go to a caravan park at the Horseshoe Resort which has a swimming pool and is opposite the beach. We liked it so much that we have stayed on just to have another opportunity to bathe in the serene waters of this perfect little beach.
Bowen even has a bridge club but they only meet on Monday and Thursday, neither which we could fit into our busy schedule.
This is Horseshoe Beach at sundown. Andrew tried to capture the sun setting on the rocks and the magical colours but perfection does not come easy and colours eluded him.
This is Rose Beach, two along from Horseshoe Beach. Next is Murrays Beach and then Rose Bay. Also lovely, with gas barbecues just next to the beach, a Queensland speciality at tourist hospitality.
We leave Bowen with much regret. It is a lovely spot. There is a fish shop right on the harbour with the catch of the day available too.
