The largest of the seaside townships, Bargara is only 13 kilometres east of Bundaberg. Leaving the city on Bargara Road or Walker Street you will travel through a patchwork of green cane fields. Bargara, the highest populated centre of the Burnett Shire is experiencing a development boom. A variety of accommodation including first class oceanfront apartments, resorts, motels and backpackers is available. A boat ramp near the clock provides a launching spot for small craft.
Fishing is possible off the beach, the rocks and offshore.
There are plenty of park areas for picnic tables. Facilities for handicapped people are situated near the boat ramp. An excellent golf course, bowling green with tennis courts provide venues for the sports minded and children are well taken care of with playgrounds and skating facilities. The Hummock, an extinct volcanic cone which is the district's highest point, offers 360 degree views of the picturesque Bundaberg district and coastline. It has a nature boardwalk extending from a beautiful tourist park with picnic and toilet facilities and meanders through the last vestiges of the original Woongarra Scrub.
