Source & verification

Details for Scarness Jetty come from the official source, retrieved 13 September 2026.

Source detail: Named by Visit Fraser Coast, the regional tourism organisation. The jetty has no name in OpenStreetMap, so the coordinate is the only pier feature on the Scarness foreshore, 90 m from the Esplanade hotel the geocoder returns for Scarness Beach and 0.04 km from the baked coastline. Queensland marine park zoning service places this point in the Great Sandy Marine Park Hervey Bay foreshore General Use Zone, beside the Great Sandy Strait Conservation Park Zone; no green zone within 300 m.

Conditions change. Access closes, sand moves and structure shifts — check locally before you travel a long way.
