Barolin Point is a beautiful place to snorkel or dive. We went there to snorkel and the reef was very good. There are lots of different types of corals and the reef was teeming with fish. Unfortunately on the day we went the sea was rough which made snorkeling difficult, but the locals tell me that these conditions are very unusual. The water here is normally very calm.
We were lucky enough to meet a dive instructor when we arrived. He recommended the North facing part of the point was the best place to snorkel. Around low tide is best, but any time is a good time to go. He was taking a group of divers out off the East facing part of the point.
Make sure you take your sunscreen and some shoes. There is little shade and the rocks were covered with small pointy shells. There are a good number of car parks here and a toilet block. The walk from the car park to the dive site is two or three hundred metres.

The park has a very nice outlook. The park is quite long and there are lots of covered tables, most with electric BBQs. The feature of the park is the turtle-themed playground which is very popular with the kids. There are lots of car parking spots, but we found that very few were available because the park is so popular.

Nudibranch Park is a nice little spot to enjoy the ocean view and the sea breeze. The picnic table is nicely shaded and there's easy parking for a few cars. Just note that there is no Sandy beach here. The shoreline is rocky. For such a small park it is surprising to see a rubbish bin here.

One of the publicly accessible boat ramps along the Bundaberg coast. The boat ramp is adjacent to a nice park with good facilities.

Mary Kinross Park is mainly a large open area. At the eastern end there is a nice barbecue area that has been built or renovated recently. There's a nice kids playground, covered picnic tables and electric barbecues. There's toilet facilities as well.
