Saunders Beach suburb profile

Saunders Beach is a small coastal suburb north of Townsville, sitting on a long sandy beach that faces the Coral Sea and is backed by dunes and casuarina trees. It has a village-like feel, popular with holidaymakers, families and retirees, and is defined by low-density, mostly single-storey homes and holiday houses on generous blocks. The lifestyle revolves around the beach with swimming, fishing and long walks on the sand, while most major shops and services are found in Townsville or neighbouring suburbs. Road access keeps it convenient, but the suburb retains a relaxed, seaside pace.
