Monkey Beach

Reviewed By kirstenandhenk - Brisbane, Australia

We where told to do walking track to monkey beach by staff at kiosk as we wanted to snorkel. What a beautiful trek to get there. Once you walk onto beach you see the beauty of it all. We snorkelled in the area as has big rock areas close to shore and a reef little way out which hubby swam to. Massive sting rays and tropical fish can be seen everywhere. Was a highlight and recommend it highly. As low tide I snorkelled around to main beach with another lady we met and hubby walked the rocks close to water watching and pointing out the reefs for us. Very tiring but worth it. A must see.
