Southern Breakwater Access Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Southern Breakwater Access Road follows the narrow route out towards Mackay’s southern breakwall, with open ocean on one side and the harbour entrance on the other. The exposed road is popular with walkers, cyclists, anglers, and photographers thanks to the uninterrupted coastal views and regular marine life sightings offshore. With very little shade or shelter along the wall, conditions can become hot and windy, especially through the middle of the day.

Mackay Harbour Entrance Light

Highlight • Settlement

The Mackay Harbour Entrance Light stands at the very end of the southern breakwall, marking the entrance to the Port of Mackay where the harbour meets the Coral Sea. Surrounded by ocean views and crashing swell during rougher weather, the small beacon has become one of the recognisable landmarks along the breakwall walk. It’s also one of the best spots to pause for views back towards the marina, harbour walls, and Mackay coastline stretching along the bay.

Bagley Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bagley Point sits at the end of the Mackay Harbour breakwall, where the protected harbour meets the open Coral Sea. The rocky point is popular for fishing, seabird watching, and spotting marine life, with dolphins, turtles, and baitfish often seen in the water around the wall. From the end of the point, you get wide views back across the marina, harbour entrance, and coastline stretching north and south along Mackay’s shore.
