Cooktown is fantastic - we spent 3 nights and could have had another few. Such a lovely little town with beautiful views and plenty to see and do.

Cooktown is always beautiful to visit, my hometown is in the Cook Shire area, I live just up the road from Cooktown and Laura.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Make sure you visit the cook museum - also can recommend the sunset cruise on the river - the kids will enjoy the new promenade with the water park and anglers will enjoy the newly built jetties for fishing

Enjoyed the feeding of the giant gropers on sunset and a wonderful breakfast at the patisserie on the waterfront.
