So pretty much any time is a good time to visit \ud83c\udf1e!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe island gets its name from none other than James Cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHe called it Magnetical Isle, as he thought his compass was affected by the giant granite boulders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlthough this theory has never been proven, there’s no denying there is a magnetic attraction to it \ud83e\uddf2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhere is Magnetic Island?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nMagnetic Island or as the locals call it “Maggie” Island is only 8km from Townsville. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is easily accessible by ferry and there are two companies that you can choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSealink<\/a> is a passenger ferry that offers plenty of services a day and leaves from the Breakwater terminal at Townsville marina.

Then this is a fun way to explore the more remote parts of the island. Motorised scooters are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut doesn’t really matter how you choose to get around as the island is easy to navigate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe main road runs from Picnic Bay to Horseshoe Bay, and is only 13kms long so it’s hard to get lost!<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere to stay on Magnetic Island?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe main areas to stay are at Nelly Bay, Arcadia, Horseshoe Bay and Picnic Bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHere you will find plenty of accommodation options to choose from – Backpackers, hotels, apartments, holiday houses, Airbnb’s etc<\/p>\n\n\n\nEach area has their own benefits. So it just depends on what kind of Maggie experience you’re after?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCentrally located: <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\nAnywhere in Nelly Bay is your best bet then.

Then this is a fun way to explore the more remote parts of the island.
