Bargara is part of the string of holiday settlements that fringe the Bundaberg coast from Burnett Head south to Elliott Heads. Bargara is fringed by four beaches. These being Nielsen Park to the north, small Bargara Beach in the centre, which is the home of the Bundaberg Surf Life Saving Club, and Kellys Beach to the south, which consists of two parts and is also patrolled by the lifesavers. Kellys Beach (1503) is on the south side of Bargara. It is 600 m long, faces due east and is backed by a string of houses on either side of the main road, then the golf course. There is a small lagoon behind the golf course, which is linked to the sea by a small creek crossing the centre of the beach. Like all the beaches along this section of coast, low basalt promontories and rounded boulders fringe either end of the beach. There is a large tidal pool in the northern rocks which is a popular swimming area. The beach has a sandy high tide beach fronted by an 80 m wide and generally rock-free low tide bar.
