Things to do in Ayr

Ayr is a small country town in northern Queensland, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do here.  There are lots of sports clubs, gyms, as well as a nearby beach.  We are also an hour from Townsville (to the north), about 1.5 hours to the beaches of Bowen, and 2 hours to the Whitsundays (to the south). Check out the information below on diving the Yongala, visiting Plantation Park, or simply heading to Alva beach for the day!

Dive the Yongala

Dive the Yongala, Australia’s largest and most intact historic shipwreck and come face to face with the charismatic mega marine life of the world heritage Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Visit Plantation Park

Plantation Park is an easy 10 minute walk from Ayr Budget Accommodation. There are picnic shelters, BBQ's, creeks and bridges as well as rainforest and bush tucker walks to enjoy.

Go to Alva Beach

Alva Beach is just 16km away, with a lookout area located to the right as you enter the township. Outer sand bars create inshore lagoon areas popular with kite surfers on weekends. The beach is also popular for fishing.
