Myall Beach (Douglas Shire) is located outside the Cape Tribulation settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Myall Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"Beautiful tropical beach near Cape Tribulation. Accessed via the car park for the Dubuji Boardwalk. Can walk directly to the beach or via boardwalk. Undercover picnic tables and toilets near the car park. Warning at the beach about stingers and crocs!"

Michael Case

"Quiet little beach! But most importantly, there is a wild sighting of a massive male crocodile. Walk to the RIGHT side of the beach, all the way to the end until you can’t go any further. Then turn towards the 2 o’clock direction where the horse track trail leads. Walk into it and look out for the left embankment. Across the creek is this said dinosaur."
