St Helens Beach is a small town within the local
government area of the Mackay Regional Council
Queensland. St Helens is located
about 68 kilometres north of Mackay. St Helens
Beach is rarely visited by tourists but favoured by
locals looking for quiet and relaxed holiday
spots. The beach is about 2.3 kilometres long,
which is backed by a large area of over a hundred
resiential homes. Fishing is popular by
the creek and around the rock flats and
mangroves during high tide. The St Helens beach
is narrow and sandy because it lies in lee of Rabbit
Island, which protects it from the waves. The St
Helens Beach camping area can be accessed via
Murrays Road and is near more than 30
beaches.
