Travelling in Hervey Bay with a Hire Car

Whether you enjoy fishing, swimming or simply relaxing in the shade, your rental car is the ultimate way to get around Hervey Bay and the surrounding area to find your own little slice of paradise. A must see part of the city is Urangan Pier, just east of Torquay. Park your hire car in Pier st, and down onto the pier itself. Stretching at approximately 1km in length, it is one of the longest piers in the country, and very popular with locals and tourists alike. Here you will find an excellent place for a spot of fishing, or on hot summers days join the locals jumping off the pylons into the water to cool off.

Right near Urangan Pier, you can catch a ferry over to Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. Here you will find forests as well as magnificent lakes all on an island entirely formed out of sand. Many of the lakes on the island are freshwater and contain some of the cleanest water in the world. While on the island, make sure to check out the famous shipwreck of the Maheno, which has been resting on the beach for over 70 years. Also take a walk up to the lookout at Indian Head, where you will get a great view of the island. Keep an eye out for sharks which can often be seen swimming in the surf.

Once back on the mainland, there is still plenty to do in Hervey Bay itself. Jump in your rental car and head over to Vic Hislop's Shark Show, a museum dedicated to dangerous sharks. The Museum features a frozen great white shark over 5 metres long. For those interested in the history of the area, drive your hire car out to Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum, which features historic buildings and artefacts telling the story of Hervey Bay and the development of the area.
