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. Wilson Bay (MT16) is a small, 60 m long, north-west facing beach contained in a curving granite bay, backed by steeply rising, wooden, granite slopes. The beach has a 10 m wide high tide beach backed by a few shady casuarinas, with a 50 m wide low tide beach and patchy coral reef right off the beach. read more
