Horseshoe Bay
This is an anchorage stop off Horseshoe Bay, one of Magnetic Island's most sheltered and scenic corners. The bay has a relaxed, unhurried feel, backed by lush national park and a long sandy beach that's easy to reach by dinghy. From here you're just a quick bus ride or walk from Nelly Bay if you need to pick anything up.
