Top destination around Kawarai Bridge - Queenstown

In 1862, gold was discovered in the river near Queenstown. This drew the attention of multiple foreigners to this part of the country. A true gold rush started in Queensland. The settlement started expanding, and its population was growing. The town got a borough status in 1866. However, when the gold rush ended, the population of Queenstown declined drastically. Starting from the beginning of the 20th century and to this day, tourism has been the main source of income for Queenstown. Thanks to the growing popularity of this destination, it has become possible to turn the once forgotten settlement into one of the best resorts in the region.

All beaches in Queenstown are wild, so do not expect to find comfort and beach infrastructure here. There are no sun lounger and umbrella rentals here, same as dressing cabins. Despite this, there are always many vacationers on the lakeshore because the area is so charming that it is hard to resist the temptation to relax on the pebble surface. Queenstown Bay is the central recreation area in the town. This is the most crowded part of Lake Wakatipu. The area is situated in the central part of the town. This beach hosts daily entertaining events and parties. It is very comfortable to relax with kids here because the water is shallow near the coast.
