Located overlooking the Coral Sea and Port of Airlie Marina, the hostel is 400m from the main street.
While only than a 5 minute walk to the cafes, restaurants, shops and famous nightlife of Airlie Beach, the hostel provides a quiet and peaceful place to get uninterrupted sleep at night.

Backpackers By The Bay was the first backpackers hostel built in Airlie Beach, back in 1986. It is still the only purpose-built backpackers in the area.
