The Strand is a 2km long development along the main beach at Townsville.
It was constructed in 1999, following several years of heavy monsoon rain which caused damage to the seawall.
Ther is now a lovely promenade walk, as well as restaurants, cafes and shops.

Townsville is built by the sea and the Strand is an esplanade which runs along the shoreline. It has had major developments done in the last 5 years and really is a beautiful area. Long walkways, parks, swimming enclosures, barbeque facilities, restaurants and a terrific water park playgrond for the kiddies.
The water park is a hive of activity. It is a large pool area and it’s main feature is a huge bucket that sits atop a large climbing frame. The bucket fills with water and when full it tips over and pours gallons of water down over the kiddies….they love it!
It runs for 1.5 kilometres and is hugely popular. There is so much to do and see and is a great way to cool off on a hot day. Just stay out of the sun…there are lots of trees and shade sails to relax under.
