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

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

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