general information

A little tricky to find due to the rarity of surf in the Cairns area and the off track location. Take the Captain Cook Highway from Cairns to Port Douglas and check the cliff edges every now and then, eventually you should locate a very neat beach break if the cyclone swell is up. The water here is perfect, the crocodiles and stingers thing the same. There are a few other lesser surfed novelty breaks in the area if the swell is up and the wind is down.
