Florence Bay Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Down a gnarly dirt road you'll find my favorite beach on Magnetic Island called Radical Bay. And hidden amongst the trees there's a mysterious piano.

An old man lived here, a hermit, for over 50 years - he let no one on "his" beach. He's gone now, and you can now watch the best sunsets from this stretch of coral beach.
