Point Vernon is a coastal suburb of Hervey Bay, 35
km north of Maryborough.

The east side of Point Vernon has a continuous
beach extending from Pialba, and the northern
side has an open beach and the protected
Gatakers Bay. An esplanade, foreshore reserve
and bike path run along the shorelines. There are
two nursing homes, which partly account for the
median age of residents in the 2011 census
being 45 years, eight years more than the median
for Australia.

In Point Vernon there are two caravan/holiday
parks, boat ramps and an Anglican church.
