Is a weekend enough on the Capricorn Coast?

A weekend is perfect for a first taste — enough for Yeppoon, a Great Keppel Island day trip and a beach-and-lookout day, without rushing. Add days for Byfield, the caves and an island stay. See our itineraries.

What is the best Capricorn Coast weekend?

The island-and-beach two-nighter: Yeppoon and the lagoon on arrival, Great Keppel snorkelling the next day, and a coastal-drive-and-lookout morning before you leave.

How far is the Capricorn Coast for a weekend?

Fly to Rockhampton (about 1h20 from Brisbane) and drive 40 minutes, and you can be swimming by lunchtime. Driving from Brisbane is a longer haul (~8 hours). See our getting there guide.

Where should I stay for a weekend?

Yeppoon is the easy base — beach, lagoon and dining close, with Rosslyn Bay for the island ten minutes away. See our where to stay guide.

Can you do a weekend without a car?

Fly-in visitors will want a hire car or a tour; the island and key sights are then easy. See our tours.
