Boardwalk Restaurant and Bar

Experience island-style dining at Peppers Blue on Blue Resort Magnetic Island’s popular Boardwalk Restaurant & Bar, perfectly positioned along the Nelly Bay marina with sweeping waterfront views and a relaxed tropical atmosphere. With its massive outdoor deck, open-air design and breezy marina outlook, it’s one of those places that feels just as good for a long lunch as it does for sunset cocktails or dinner under the stars.

The menu leans heavily into fresh tropical flavours, local seafood and modern Australian dining, with everything from reef seafood platters and fresh prawns through to elevated chef specials and lighter tropical dishes. Fine wines, cocktails and relaxed all-day dining make it an easy choice whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, afternoon drinks or a slower dinner overlooking the harbour.

Inside, the Boardwalk Bar & Atrium offers a more comfortable lounge-style setting for drinks and snacks, while the outdoor deck captures the best of Magnetic Island’s marina atmosphere. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it’s become one of Nelly Bay’s go-to dining spots for both visitors and locals alike.

WHAT WE LOVE

The Marina Views
Sitting right on the Nelly Bay marina, it’s one of the best spots on the island for long lunches, sunset drinks and watching the boats come and go.
Easy Tropical Dining
Fresh seafood, tropical flavours, good cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere make it somewhere that works just as well for breakfast as it does for dinner.
The Outdoor Deck
Once the weather cools off and the doors open up, the whole place shifts into that classic open-air island dining feel.
A Little More Elevated
While still relaxed, the space feels a little more refined than your typical island dining spot, making it perfect for date nights, celebrations or slower afternoons by the water.
