A narrow suburb the sea keeps reaching
Bounded by Barr Creek to the south and Richter Creek to the north, Holloways Beach has a long history of erosion, according to council. In 2021 council built two, 30-metre rock groynes to hold the sand.
After the ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper flood, council built a temporary causeway to reconnect 55 isolated homes at Holloways Beach after a stretch of road washed away.
Holloways Beach is narrow, and its esplanade park offers large shade trees and water views. Trees here grow in sandy ground with salt wind on one side.

Holloways Beach questions
Dunes, parks and the council
Is the council planting the dunes here?
Yes. At a community planting day in March 2026, 550 native plants were planted at Holloways Beach to reduce erosion after ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper.
Who looks after the trees in the parks?
The council. In April 2023 it closed Raintrees Park at Holloways Beach for emergency repair work needing heavy machinery. Park trees are its work, not a private job.
Do surges reach this part of the coast?
They have. After Tropical Cyclone Narelle in March 2026, council said storm surges had damaged foreshores at Palm Cove, Ellis Beach and Holloways Beach.
