Lucinda Jetty
Lucinda Bulk Sugar Terminal Jetty
A sugar-loading jetty reaching 5.76 km into the sea, the longest in the Southern Hemisphere, with the southern tip of Hinchinbrook Island across the water.
Lucinda is a fishing village about 25 km northeast of Ingham. Its sugar-loading jetty runs 5.76 km straight from the shore into the Coral Sea, making it the longest bulk sugar terminal jetty in the Southern Hemisphere; its far end appears to sink into the sea because of the Earth’s curvature. The jetty itself is closed to visitors, but you can see it from the waterfront park and the fishing boat harbour, with the southern tip of Hinchinbrook Island and the strait’s mouth across the water. This is also the departure port for Hinchinbrook Island, Orpheus Island and offshore fishing trips. Fishing from the shore and eating seafood in the evening is part of daily life here.
