What Our Visitors Say

"

Lovely secluded beach can be accessed by foot or high clearance 4×4 as there are washouts along the road. Great to just have a swim, go snorkelling or just soak up the NQ Sun.

Visited this lovely beach. It is a small cove nestled between Arthur Bay and Radical Bay. Look out for the old scout hut peeking between the leaves. The building is no longer accessible due to asbestos containing materials. The loos are clean and tidy. Getting there is possible with an adapted Aussie 4×4, otherwise walk down the hill and continue on past Arthur Bay. Swim In the warm sea, alternatively bring your snorkel and flippers and head out to look at the coral reefs.
