Overview
Highlights
The Champagne Pools is a must-see Aussie Bucket List attraction located on K'gari (Fraser Island).
The boardwalk is located on the Eastern Beach scenic drive about 21.2km north of the Dundubara camping area. The Eastern Beach scenic drive is only accessible 2hrs either side of low tide.
Head along the boardwalk that hugs the side of a rocky headland and take in the stunning coastal views towards Indian Head before arriving at the pools.
Hollowed from masses of volcanic rock, these fabulous ocean-level pools are best at mid-tide, when breaking waves create a natural, bubbly spa.
If conditions are safe, pop in the pools for a refreshing dip. At low tide take the steep (and slippery) steps down to the secluded beach and let the kids play on the sand. Keep an eye on the ocean as turtles, dolphins, manta rays and, when the season’s right, humpback whales are seen from here.
This park is part of the K'gari (Fraser Island) World Heritage Area, famed for its exceptional natural beauty, outstanding examples of coastal dune landform development and evolutionary history.
