How many days do you need on the Capricorn Coast?

A long weekend covers Yeppoon, a Great Keppel day and the beaches; four to five days lets you add Byfield, Emu Park, the caves and a proper island stay. A week suits a relaxed family holiday.

What is the best Capricorn Coast itinerary?

The classic long weekend: Yeppoon and the lagoon, a Great Keppel Island day trip with snorkelling, and a beach-and-lookout day taking in Emu Park and Wreck Point. See the routes below.

Can you combine the coast with Rockhampton?

Yes — Rockhampton is 40 minutes inland with its own attractions and the Capricorn Caves nearby. See our Rockhampton & the Capricorn Coast guide.

Is the Capricorn Coast good for families?

Very — the lagoon, beaches, island day trip and wildlife make an easy family week. See our with kids guide.

Can you tour the coast without a car?

Largely you'll want a car, but guided tours cover the island, Byfield and the caves. See our Capricorn Coast tours.
