This is where you connect with the passenger and car ferries...
This is where you connect with the passenger and car ferries, as well as the buses. Depending on length of your stay, the buses have single, daily and weekly tickets - no need to hire vehicles unless you're in a group. There is an IGA open 7 days until 8:30pm, where you can buy your supplies at reasonable prices. Although there are several restaurants, you can not rely on their opening hours and if they'll be opened, as I've often travelled to Magnetic Island and found many close during what they refer as "off season". Amazing that I even saw one will re-open for Easter next year! Therefore to be sure, it's safer to travel to either Sandi's Hotel at Horseshoe Bay, or the Picnic Bay Hotel. There are some quality apartments by the water, where I've previously stayed - be sure to buy with a discount for amazing deals that may sometimes better other accommodation on the island! Note that, Nelly Bay's beaches don't compare to many others that you'll find around Horseshoe Bay, Picnic Bay (especially Rocky Bay) and Alma Bay. Some are sheltered reducing the risks from Jellyfish and Stingers - be prepared for some long hikes, so carry lots of water!

Magnetic Islanders were very friendly and helpful.
Magnetic Islanders were very friendly and helpful. Very good IGA supermarket. A few restaurants with OK food. Well serviced by public buses (which very effectively link up the whole island). Very good forrest walk between Nellie Bay and Arcadia

Nelly Bay was good as a base;
Nelly Bay was good as a base; walking distance to the ferry and serviced by 2 supermarkets. A good bus service on the island but overtaxed by the number of people. other "villiages" did not have the supermarkets so you were purchasing takeaway or resturant food which was more expensive. Yes; we could have gone on more walks, or snorkled or maybe taken a cruise; but overall it was a limited holiday.

The accomodation was good and the host outstanding.
The accomodation was good and the host outstanding. Lisa picked us up from the ferry. Recommended things to do, visit and places to eat. Saw a koala on the way to the fort. Take a drinking bottle of water. Eat at SOS and the pirate cafe. The pizza placewas good for a cold beer too. The local bus was easy to get around but next time we will probably hire a motor scooter. Enjoy!

This is the stopping off point for Magnetic Island for both vehicles by barge and a first class Sealink passenger service. The Best of Magnetic rental agency provides properties and rental vehicles and are extremely helpful. Scallywags and Stuffed on Seafood are typical laid back island restaurants and Peppers boardwalk restaurant and bar has views over the marina. IGA have a store with fresh food from Townsville. There are a number of walks, one through the bushland to Arcadia and another along the coast to Arcadia. The bus service goes one way to Picnic Bay and the other direction to Horseshoe Bay stopping at Arcadia and a starting point to the WW2 forts walk high up on the island.

If you want a place to recharge and get your mojo back this is the place for you, close to everything from hire cars to IGA. Across the road is a Sea Food restaurant called SOS and it is really very good, with fresh fair and well priced. The friendly staff are an added bonus

Arcadia Beach Guest House and Car Hire
Nelly Bay
From $23 per nightIan was amazing and very helpful explaining everything we could do on the island. My partner and I stayed in one of the safari tent (West Point) for two night which was very confy and relaxing. Fabulous location just in front of the beach in a little tropical forest with a new pool table and very clean bathrooms. We also rented a typical Meggie car to drive around and it was so much fun. A big thank you again to Ian and his staff for making our holiday so enjoyable.

SEA-esta
Nelly Bay
From $54 per nightGreat little place in Nelly bay, super easy to get to and a minute or two walk to the bus stop. We were able to drop bags off early and it was super clean and air-conditioned when we checked in. Himali and Nate checked in on us via messages/email/booking.com to make sure we had everything we needed and if they could help with anything ot recommendations. Great experience staying at their rental.

Amaroo On Mandalay
Nelly Bay
From $92 per nightThis is a large holiday resort where the rooms seemed to be time-shared with some people looking like they were there for the longer term. There are some great animals here to see and the kitchen was feeding the Kingfishers which was a great spectacle. They have a carpet python in a cage and also a macaw which can be petted. The pool area is nice and large with a verandah bar and restaurant adjacent.

Nelly Bay
From $94 per nightFantastic place to stay on Magnetic Island as a solo traveller. Liz was an amazing host! She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome including picking me up/dropping me off to the ferry terminal and making my stay so easy. She provided lots of lovely groceries and extra treats! The location was perfect, nice and quiet with an amazing pool and sunbeds and a gorgeous view of the mountains!

Absolute Waterfront Magnetic Island
Nelly Bay
From $165 per nightThe location is excellent ... a 50-mètre walk from the ferry terminal, with a good supermarket less than 100 metres away, and a couple of restaurants within easy distance. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious. It overlooks a marina and bay, with a beach not far away. There is a swimming pool. Magnetic Island itself is beautiful and comparatively unspoiled. What’s not to like?
