Burnett Heads is Bundaberg's coastal port.

Bargara is Bundaberg's premier coastal suburb and the anchor of the Coral Coast tourism corridor — the beachside village character, Kelly's Beach, and proximity to Lady Musgrave Island and the southern Great Barrier Reef creates a tourism market that draws domestic visitors from inland Queensland and interstate travellers throughout the dry season.
