Right offshore of this palm-fringed beach is where Captain Cook’s ship famously ran aground and --voila!--The Great Barrier Reef was discovered. This is also the place where the Daintree rainforest meets the reef, where two UNSECO World Heritage areas lay side by side, and where you feel like yes, all is right in the universe. Day trips from Cairns will bring you here, considered by the local Kuku Yalanji as a sacred place, but plan to spend a night at any one of the rainforest lodges just in from the beach.
