Yeppoon is a coastal resort town situated in Central Queensland, located on Keppel Bay. Yeppoon is the major town along the tourist strip of the Capricorn Coast, and is around 700 km north of Brisbane, and 40 km from its nearest regional centre, the city of Rockhampton. Long stretches of beaches are the main tourist attraction, while the islands of the Keppel Group, in particular Great Keppel Island, are another drawcard.
The Rosslyn Bay boat harbour caters for professional and privately owned vessels and was once the centre of a thriving commercial fishing industry.
North of the town is the Byfield State Forest and National Park. The State Forest consists largely of pine plantations. The National Park is largely coastal and sand dune based geographical areas. It is popular with Four Wheel Drive enthusiasts.
