Bowen is North Queensland's oldest town, and there's a rich mix of local history, fabulous beaches and outdoor activities to enjoy in our friendly town. If you want to know more about Bowen's past, head on down to the Bowen Museum on Gordon Street, where you can find out all about the settlement of the area. If military history is more your passion, you must not miss the Coral Sea Display at the Bowen Aerodrome, which honours Bowen's association with the World War II Catalina Flying Boats. Of course, many tourists come to Bowen to enjoy the spectacular local beaches and the living reef beyond, one of nature's true miracles in action. Well, apart from the excellent pizza you'll find at Bowen Pizza Hut, of course! Whether you snorkel, scuba dive or opt to walk during the low tide out to the North Head Lighthouse, one of the oldest in all of Queensland, you're sure to be amazed by nature's bounty on the reef. Just remember to look but don't touch, so we can safely preserve this natural miracle for generations to come! If you're in the mood for a healthy walk amongst nature, set out on the Cape Edgecumbe walking trail, or take in either of the Kings Beach or Queens Bay Beach walks. If the kids need some wide open space to play, head to Edgecumbe Heights Recreation Reserve, Case Park, Rotaract Park or Mullers Lagoon Park after your delicious Bowen pizza meal.
