Vehicle Security[]
12 hour parking is available down near the ramp. There is also parking at the top of the hill, which is effectively 24-hour+. For additional vehicle security, casual parking is available across the road from the shop at the top of the hill. Prices are quite reasonable.
Trip Options[]
- For snapper, try either the north eastern side of the island, or paddle over to the northern edge of Macleay island.
- Flathead are available in small numbers, off the southern beaches.
- Whiting can be found in the shallows close in to most beaches, or alternatively, at the Banana Banks, north of the island.
- Tailor, in season, are available on either the eastern or western sides of the island.
After a good session yakking, try dropping in to either the cafe "Matthew Flinders Cafe/Restaurant", or the corner store. Both are a short wander off the main beach.
