You needn’t leave Rosslyn Bay to find fun, nature and relaxation…
Only a minutes walk from the resort, Keppel Bay Marina is truly the gateway to Great Keppel Island and the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Keppel Bay Marina comprises 400 berths catering for boats up to 35m so there are always some impressive vessels moored for those interested in boating. You are free to walk around the berths, eat, drink or head over to pier one where to purchase fresh seafood, shop for fishing gear or catch the freedom fastcats to Great Keppel Island.
The resort is located literally on the front of on of the locals’ favourite beaches. Set amidst 2 gorgeous headlands and with the outlook of Ironpot and the Keppel Islands, it is secluded and far enough away from town that you can quietly enjoy the beach for yourself. During the summer, Kemp beach is well sheltered from the South Easterly winds and has been known to provide some of the best waves for surfers on the right day. The point a the base of double heads also great for fishing and is only a few minutes walk from your doorstep.
Double Head Section
adjoins Rosslyn Bay Harbour and protects vine thicket with overhanging fig trees, windswept and stunted scrubland and open tussock grassland with grasstrees. Bird’s eye views over the harbour and a close-up of Fan Rock—the core of an old volcano—are two must see features of this section.
Rosslyn Head Section
located between Statute Bay and Kemp Beach protects eucalypt forests and coastal sand dune heath and features a rocky headland rising 60 m above sea level.
Bluff Point Section
at the southern end of Kemp Beach is a popular picnic spot with superb coastal scenery. It features a range of coastal vegetation from mangroves and heathlands to open eucalypt forests and tussock grasslands and is the largest trachyte plug on the Capricorn Coast. Two lookout points are perfect for spotting marine life below and enjoying cool sea breezes, while the walk provides marvellous views of the hinterland.
As the hub of Rosslyn Bay has become more popular, we have opened the pool deck up and it has become a popular place for locals and guests to come for a drink and light food. The bar is open weekdays from 5:30pm and from midday onwards on Friday and Saturday and is the perfect place to take in the tranquility of the area and recap on a big day.
The resort offers a lagoon style pool which is perfect for those hot summer days as well as various communal sitting and barbeque areas which guests are free to use at thier leisure.
