Macleay Island has a second smaller island – Perulpa Island attached to it by a causeway.
Swimming, fishing, boating, a stroll along the beach or a walk through the small stand of native rainforest offer relaxing options for passing the time.
At Pat's Point you’ll find picnic facilities and a swimming area to the north, where you can enjoy a day by seaside and panoramic bay views. There is a swimming enclosure on this island.
Macleay itself has more than 2000 permanent residents, and is a relaxed and peaceful destination for a day trip or short break.
There is a Golf Club and the well known Macleay Island Bowls Club has the most spectacular bay views of any Bowls Club in Queensland!
