A beautiful secluded beach, accessible by walking track from the Cooktown botanic gardens.

Another walking track also leads from half way up grassy hill which has a sign on a bench on the right hand side of the road. The beach sits between two hillsides. The left hill is covered with brown grasses and is part of the famous Grassy Hill. The hill to the right is covered with beautiful trees and rocks. On the back part of the beach, there are palm trees and other wild life, and if you go to the far left, there is a little cove, with a stream. The beach itself is beautiful, with clean sand, swaying coconut palms and as there is no vehicle access you will generally find that you have it all to yourself.
