Arcadia is perfectly situated in the smallest of the four main bays on Magnetic Island and is surrounded by the prominent Alma Bay and Geoffrey Bay.

Geoffrey Bay and Alma bay are Marine National Park Zone – which means no fishing or collecting – but is great for exploring during low tide. The old barge jetty in Geoffrey bay is a great spot for feeding rock wallabies at dusk, and it’s an awesome snorkelling trail.

Alma Bay is a very popular swimming spot for locals and visitors alike. The Arcadian Life Saving Club patrols the beach on weekends and public holidays. Public amenities include a gas barbecue, picnic tables, a shaded children’s playground, changing areas and toilets.
