Where to stay in Bushland Beach
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The northern beaches area is what sends people out to Bushland Beach rather than the centre. Hotel choice here is slim. What Bushland Beach offers is the shoreline rather than a choice of rooms, so travellers wanting the range of the City of Townsville still look inward to the city itself.
Staying north means the tropics on the doorstep and Townsville a drive away. For a beach stay in Queensland, that trade suits many travellers.
