Virtual Tours

Step into the Gallery & Media Centre

to experience Kenton-on-Sea through captivating visuals and stories. This section of the website is designed as a digital window into Kenton, showcasing the town’s beauty and character in pictures and videos. Whether you’re daydreaming about an upcoming visit or reminiscing about your last trip, the gallery and media content will transport you right back to Kenton’s shores.

Photo Gallery

Explore curated photo collections that highlight the best of Kenton and its surrounds. You’ll find albums for Beaches, Rivers, Wildlife, Sunsets, Community Life, and more. Each photo captures a slice of Kenton life – from a golden sunrise spreading light over the Bushmans River to children playing beach cricket at Middle Beach, or a close-up of a vibrant kingfisher perched on a reed. The gallery isn’t just professional shots; it also features selected images from visitors and locals (use our hashtag #KentonMoments on social media for a chance to be featured!). This mix gives an authentic feel – as if you’re flipping through a friend’s holiday scrapbook as well as a coffee-table photography book. Hover over or click on images to read captions and little anecdotes about each scene.

Video Library

Sometimes a moving image says it all. Our Media Centre includes short videos that let you feel the Kenton vibe:

Aerial Tour

Soar above Kenton with drone footage that sweeps over the coastline, revealing how the town nestles between verdant reserves and the vast ocean. You’ll see the dramatic meeting point of the rivers and sea, and get a sense of the layout of the village and its neighboring areas.

Experience Clips

Ever wondered what it’s like to paddleboard on the Kariega at dawn, or gallop a horse along the surf at low tide? These bite-sized videos (1-2 minutes) give you a first-person glimpse into various activities. Watch a snippet of a Sibuya Game Reserve safari drive – the camera catches the moment a herd of elephants crosses the track just meters away– or join a cheerful beach yoga session via time-lapse.

Community & Events

Feel the energy of Kenton’s events through highlight reels – perhaps a montage of the Kenton Festival (with craft stalls, live music, and kids’ fun) or a recap of the latest Seagull Regatta, complete with cheering crowds and bobbing sails. There might also be interviews with locals; for example, an elder sharing memories of Kenton “back in the day,” or a chef talking about what makes Sunshine Coast cuisine special.

“Live Like a Local” Series

Taking inspiration from our Live Like a Local guide, this video series follows a day in the life of Kenton residents. Join “Uncle Jeff” on his morning fishing trip at Shelter Rock, tag along as a group of teens meet up for ice-cream and a beach clean-up, and ride with a local family as they head to the Sandbar for a lazy Sunday river cruise. These videos are warm, unscripted, and often shot by locals themselves – giving you an intimate look at daily life in our town.

Virtual Tours & 360° Images

To really immerse yourself, try the 360-degree panoramas of key viewpoints. Ever wanted to stand on Castle Rock at low tide and do a full spin to see what you’d see? Or how about a virtual stroll on Kenton’s Main Street? These interactive panoramas let you click and drag to explore in any direction – a taste of Kenton as if you’re right there. We recommend the 360° sunset from River Roost viewpoint – you can almost feel the breeze as you take in the pink-hued sky over both rivers.

Media for Planning

The Gallery & Media Centre isn’t just for inspiration; it’s also a practical tool. Check out maps and infographics in the media section, such as our Illustrated Area Map (showing where each beach, trail, and neighboring village is) and Accommodation Peek images (photospheres inside some of the popular lodging options, so you know what to expect).

Downloads

See an image you love? We offer a selection of wallpapers (for desktop or mobile) featuring Kenton’s iconic views – free to download so you can carry a piece of Kenton with you. There are also PDF brochures and media kits available if you need them (for travel agents, journalists, or just enthusiastic planners who want to save info offline).

The Gallery & Media Centre is continually updated

With each season, new gems are added – perhaps the first spring flowers on the dunes, or the latest summer festival fun. It’s an evolving mosaic of Kenton’s story, told visually.

Dive in, and let these images and videos tell you a thousand words about Kenton-on-Sea – its natural wonders, its people, and the unforgettable experiences that await. And if you’ve visited and have a great shot or video, we’d love to see it – share it with us! This gallery is by and for everyone who loves Kenton.
