FCDP On Tour — Yeppoon Esplanade & Marina
Not Fraser Coast this time — but when the drone goes up and the coastline looks this good, it deserves a share. These aerials capture the Yeppoon Esplanade precinct — a standout example of how smart, staged foreshore redevelopment can transform a beachfront into a vibrant, all-ages destination.
A few interesting highlights about Yeppoon’s foreshore evolution:
The oceanfront lagoon pool has become the signature feature of the esplanade — a free, resort-style public swimming space designed to work with the natural coastline and views.
The marina and sailing club precinct supports local sailing, visiting boats and reef access — helping drive tourism and marine activity across Keppel Bay.
The beachfront amphitheatre and terraced lawns host concerts, markets, festivals and community events year-round.
Multiple playground zones and shaded park areas have been progressively added — making the strip genuinely family-friendly, not just scenic.
Restaurants, cafés and mixed-use buildings now line key sections of the foreshore, turning it into a day-to-night social strip.
Wide walking and cycling paths link the marina, lagoon, town centre and parks — creating one continuous, usable waterfront.
Great planning, steady investment, and coastal lifestyle done right.
