About Wathumba Creek
Wathumba Creek is a vast and rarely-visited site, located around 25 nautical miles from Hervey Bay. At high tide, the pristine creek system transforms into a large saltwater lake with turtles and rays galore – its clean, white beaches and striking turquoise waters often likened to that of Whitehaven Beach or the Maldives. The area relies heavily on the mangrove forests lining the shorelines, which provide the delicate ecosystem with protection from erosion, as well as vital habitat for the many fish, crabs and birdlife.
