Finch Bay, my pick of spots around Cooktown, you can't camp here but great for a day trip/fishing.

The little creek running down the south end is fresh water and had plenty of fish, but would expect a resident Croc here, perfect conditions for a Salty.












I sat on this log for a while enjoying the sun and watching fish jump.








Here you can see my back up battery charging in the sun while charging my phone.





Looking North








These Rocks were really cool and the kind of spot you can imagine people coming to for a thousand years, good wind break and a little shelter.
























Can you see those bumps on the stone above?

Does any one know what they are?

They are golf ball sized, the effect is something like the dimples on a golf ball.
My best guess is a left over from when the stone cracked off the larger stones behind it plus a millennia of on shore wind erosion.


Looking South





This beach was nearly worth the whole trip! Look at It.

If you look closely at the southern end you might just be able to see a rooftop, someone has a shack here. Midway between the water and the sand dune, just inside the tree line.
Would love to check it out but figured if you're the type of person to build your shack here you probably don't want visitors.

The next morning I drove back west and south, down to the coast at Port Douglas and back north up the coast to Cape Tribulation, an easy days drive with a few stops along the way.
Top tip, the bakery cafe at Cooktown was brilliant, good food and great prices.
