What is there to do in Yeppoon?

Swim at the free Yeppoon Lagoon, stroll the foreshore and Main Beach, browse the Saturday markets, dine along the esplanade, and use the town as a base for Great Keppel Island (ferry from nearby Rosslyn Bay) and the coast's beaches. See our lagoon & foreshore guide.

Is Yeppoon a good base for the Capricorn Coast?

Does Yeppoon have a beach?
