The town of Bargara lies 384 kilometres (239 mi) north of the state capital Brisbane and just 13 kilometres (8 mi) east of Bundaberg. Bargara is considered to be a satellite suburb of Bundaberg,[citation needed] with only sugarcane fields separating the two centres.
Nielson Park is a coastal town in the north of the locality (24°48′27″S 152°27′24″E / 24.8075°S 152.4566°E), only 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) from the town of Bargara.
The main streets of Bargara are The Esplanade and Bauer Street. The Esplanade runs along the Bargara Beach foreshore, and is lined with several modern holiday homes and units. Bauer Street contains several hotels, restaurants and clothing shops. Bargara is also a popular fishing, swimming and surfing location.
The Mon Repos turtle rookery is located just north of Bargara. A wall in the reserve dating back to the very early days of settlement was constructed using Kanaka labour and rocks taken from the nearby sugarcane fields. Most of the coastline of Mon Repos is part of the Mon Repos Conservation Park, established to protect the nesting areas of sea turtles. Inland of the conversation park, much of the land is state reserves or subject to other restrictions designed to support the wildlife objectives of the conversation park.
Although officially separate towns, Nielson Park and Bargara are effectively a continuous urban area, and Nielson Park is generally regarded just as a picnic ground and beach area of Bargara.
