Myall Beach Tours and Activities

Myall Beach
Choose two or more items and save on your trip:

Cape Tribulation is one of the most northern spots you can access in Queensland. The beach offers the peace and tranquility earned from the drive to get here.

Visitors to Myall Beach are rewarded with soft warm sands, endless ocean views and mysterious rainforest surroundings. Bring your family for an immersive experience between two world heritage areas, the rainforest and wet tropics area of Daintree National Park and the waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Besides the environmental significance of these natural ecosystems, the 1-mile (1.6-kilometre) stretch of sand is perfect for typical beachgoing activities. Swim, sunbathe and build sand castles. Bring your own chairs, umbrellas, reef-approved sunscreen and other beach gear, as the secluded area won’t have vendors bothering you.

Coming from the south, the first point for beach access is the Dubuji day-use area, with parking, restrooms and picnic tables. Head to the beach or stroll along the Dubuji Boardwalk through mangrove swampland. The slightly raised walkway lets you be immersed in the rainforest while avoiding the roots, rocks and wet areas of the forest floor. Make a circuit of about 0.7 miles (1.2 kilometres) and read interpretive signs along the way. This is the best path for wheelchair access to the beach.

The Kulki day-use area at the northern end of the beach inside Daintree National Park is another great spot for picnics. Follow the short Kulki Boardwalk from here. Stroll about 1,000 feet (300 metres) to a lookout with excellent views of the Cape Tribulation area. Notice how the rainforest grows right up to the sea, with ocean waves gently lapping or fiercely pummeling a thin separating strip of golden beach.

Bring binoculars and look for turtles, whales, dolphins and sea cows, known here as dudongs. Along the path to and from the lookout, watch for blue-necked cassowaries or paradise kingfishers amid the thick vegetation. The walk to and from the beach here requires some climbing.

Myall Beach is part of the Cape Tribulation shoreline. Drive 2 hours from Port Douglas to get here, allowing time for a ferry crossing of the Daintree River. The beach is always open and does not charge admission. Always be alert for crocodiles in the natural areas north of the Daintree River.
