Cape Tribulation Beach

On days when the south east trade winds blow this beach is a good choice as you can swim in the shelter of the cape. Avoid the middle of the day when busloads of daytrippers converge on this spot for a picnic and a quick photo, and parking can be hard to find. You can also walk here from Myall Beach, just near the northern end there is a walking track that takes you over the saddle behind the cape to Cape Tribulation Beach. A large cassowary was often seen around the picnic area and on the beach here, there's even some movies on Youtube of people getting chased around by the cassowary on this beach. This is also the departure point for the reef trips. When you walk north along this beach at some point you will reach The Beachhouse, which has a bar and restaurant almost on the beach where you can have a drink.
