THE HISTORY
In 1886 a surveyor by the name of J. G O’Connell named
‘Alma Bay’ after the Pearce family children living
in Townsville at the time.
The Arcadian Surf Lifesaving Club (1928) and the Alma Den Guesthouse
(1921) are both closely associated with the promotion of Alma
Bay as a place for recreation and relaxation.
The Cenotaph at Alma Bay is a focus for Anzac Day commemorations
at Arcadia.
