The northern shore of Magnetic Island is the longest (12 km) and contains the greatest number of beaches (10). However, apart from Horseshoe Bay none of the beaches have vehicle access and are all located in the national park. However their isolation is part of the appeal of these small, but attractive and secluded, beach systems. They all tend to face north and are protected from the south-easterly winds, with waves averaging less than 0.5 m and often calm. Huntingfield Bay (MT15) is the first of the sandy beaches on the north shore. It is a 250 m long, north facing bay, that is backed by scrub-covered, rocky slopes that rise steeply to over 300 m. Large granite boulders fringe the back and sides of the beach, while the beach has a 20 m wide high tide beach, widening to 60 m at low tide. Waves average less than 0.5 m. read more
