What is Emu Park known for?

Its coastal Singing Ship memorial to Captain Cook, the ANZAC-themed headland walk, and a quiet, family-friendly village pace with lovely beaches — a gentler alternative to Yeppoon, about 20 minutes south.

What is the Singing Ship?

A 1970 concrete memorial to Captain James Cook whose sails and pipes are designed to "sing" in the sea breeze. It stands on the Emu Park headland beside the ANZAC commemorative walk, with sweeping bay and island views.

Does Emu Park have good beaches?

Yes — sheltered swimming and surf beaches (including Fishermans Beach) with a relaxed, uncrowded feel. Great for families. See our beaches guide.

How far is Emu Park from Yeppoon?

About 20 minutes (~19 km) south along the Scenic Highway, past Cooee Bay and the southern beaches.

Is Emu Park a good place to stay?

Yes, for a quieter, village-style base with holiday units and parks — especially for families and slower-paced trips. See our where to stay guide.
