Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Hay Point?
The best area to stay in Hay Point is generally the area around the marina and along the coastline for convenient access to the main attractions and amenities.

This coastal stretch is the primary hub for visitors, offering easy access to the Hay Point Marina, a key departure point for fishing charters and boat tours. The area is characterised by its relaxed, seaside atmosphere, with various accommodation options providing views of the Coral Sea.

Couples looking for a tranquil getaway will appreciate the hotels and guesthouses located directly on or near the waterfront. These often provide direct beach access and opportunities for romantic strolls along the shore. The proximity to the marina also makes it easy to book a sunset cruise or a day trip to the nearby islands.

For travellers interested in fishing or boating, staying close to the marina is ideal. It allows for early departures and late returns without a long commute.
When is the best time to go to Hay Point?
