Is the Capricorn Coast good for kids?

Very — the free Yeppoon Lagoon and water playground, calm beaches, a Great Keppel day trip, the crocodile farm and the caves make an easy, varied family holiday, most of it outdoors and affordable.

What can kids do on the Capricorn Coast?

Swim the free lagoon, snorkel and beach-comb on Great Keppel, meet crocs at Koorana, explore the Capricorn Caves, spot whales in winter, and splash at the Kraken water playground.

Is the Capricorn Coast good for a family holiday base?

Yes — Yeppoon has self-contained apartments and holiday parks with the lagoon and beach at the doorstep. See our where to stay guide.

Is it safe to swim with kids?

The Yeppoon Lagoon is patrolled (in hours) and stinger-safe year-round — ideal for young children. At beaches, swim between the flags and take stinger precautions in the warmer months.

What's the best island trip for families?

A Great Keppel day trip — an easy ferry, calm beaches and shore snorkelling. See our day trip guide.
