Shoalwater is a coastal locality in the Livingstone Shire, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Shoalwater had "no people or a very low population".[1]
This large locality includes the mainland with a large peninsula and a number of islands extending in the Coral Sea. The bay between the mainland and the peninsula is Shoalwater Bay. There are a number of mountain ranges, mountains and headlands.[3]
The Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area occupies most of the locality.[4] The remaining land use is marshland or grazing on native vegetation.[5]
