Restaurants & cafés
Barefoot Art Food Wine A balcony restaurant and working gallery above Horseshoe Bay where the kitchen leans on locally landed seafood and a German-trained chef's small French-inflected menu. The same room is the island's main contemporary art space, with rotating local and regional shows on the walls.
Sandi's on Magnetic Island A beachfront grill on the Horseshoe Bay strip built around fresh-off-the-trawler seafood and a side of German specials from the owner-chef, who also runs the live-music nights. Steaks and the seafood platter are the long-standing local orders.
Trails & outdoors
The Forts Walk The island's signature walk, a 4 km return loop from the Radical Bay road up through eucalyptus woodland to a complex of WWII command posts, gun emplacements and a signal station on the highest ridge. It is the most reliable place to spot wild koalas dozing in the gum trees overhead.
Balding Bay Track A 2.5 km return track that drops off the Radical Bay road to a small isolated bay of huge granite boulders and fine yellow sand. The bay is the island's unofficial nude beach and has no road access of any kind.
Things to do
Bounce Magnetic Island Koala and Wildlife Park The island's on-site wildlife park set in bushland behind Horseshoe Bay, where ranger-led tours let visitors meet koalas, pythons, turtles, wombats and a small saltwater crocodile. It is the closest reliable koala encounter on the island outside the Forts Walk.
Aquascene Magnetic Island Discovery Tour A family-run half-day boat tour out of Horseshoe Bay that runs to two snorkel sites and a secluded bay for morning tea, with UV suits, snorkel gear and stand-up paddleboards on board. The crew are island residents and the tour stays small.
Landmarks & sights
Horseshoe Bay The island's longest beach and the heart of its north coast village, a 2.2 km arc of sand backed by a short strip of cafes, bars and a public jetty. It is where the ferry-day crowd ends up, where the sunset crowd drinks, and where most of the boat and jet-ski tours launch.
Geoffrey Bay The east-coast bay off Arcadia where a colony of unafraid Allied rock-wallabies comes down out of the boulders at dusk, and a marked underwater snorkel trail runs out from the beach past four numbered floats. The trail passes coral bommies, a small shipwreck and a WWII plane propeller in shallow water.
