Urangan Pier, Historic pier bridge in Urangan, Australia
The Urangan Pier extends 868 meters into Hervey Bay waters, featuring wooden beams supported by steel-encased pylons for enhanced durability.
Built between 1913 and 1917, the pier operated as a deep-water cargo facility for exporting sugar, timber, and coal until its commercial closure in 1985.
The structure hosts the annual Pier to Pub Ocean Swim Classic since 1999, where participants complete a 3.4-kilometer swimming challenge across Hervey Bay.
The pier provides designated fishing areas, informational signs about marine life, public restrooms, and multiple seating spots along its wooden walkway.
Marine enthusiasts gather at the pier during migration season to observe humpback whales as they journey through the waters of Hervey Bay.
