Say hello to one of Tropical North Queensland’s oldest institutions, The Marine Hotel. As we make the newest member of the club feel welcome, we wanted to give you a sneak peek into what the Cardwell location is all about.

Entrenched in history, 159 years of it to be exact, The Marine is a central hub of activity on Victoria Street on the land of the Girramay People. Overlooking the Coral Sea, you can enjoy one of the best views on the coast while digging into a delicious pub lunch. With a fresh beer in hand, where else would you want to be?

The Marine Hotel boasts 159 years of history.

Established in 1864, sitting between Townsville and Cairns, The Marine Hotel has been the perfect location for a road trip pitstop for decades. Delicious pub food and drink, perfect for any occasion, and the friendly team behind the bar are some of the many reasons the community of Cardwell keep coming back. Don’t let us influence you, have a chat to the locals and you’ll see what all the fuss is about. 


We can’t wait to find out more about our newest pub, and the team that make it what it is.
