The city heart provides opportunity for boutique shopping, fine dining experiences, cultural events, and a bustling nightlife. The Strand is Townsville's waterfront esplanade; take a stroll along the picturesque paths, do some shopping, or attend the night markets, be spoilt for choice with alfresco dining options, sit and relax while the kids play at the water park or one of the family fun areas. Picnic and BBQ facilities are available, as well as gym equipment (including a rock-climbing wall) and amenities. Swim in the man-made rockpool or the lifeguard monitored beaches.
