Taylors Beach
A quiet fishing-village beach between mangroves and a river mouth, good for fishing and birdwatching, with views of Hinchinbrook Island and the Palm Islands.
Taylors Beach lies about 22 km east of Ingham, a quiet fishing village wedged between the mangroves at the mouth of Victoria Creek and the Coral Sea. It is known for estuary fishing, mud crab catching and watching wading birds. Beside the beach are shaded picnic areas and a small pub, and the southern tip of Hinchinbrook Island is visible to the north. The water is murky, so swimming is not the main draw. In summer there are box jellyfish and crocodile risks, so heed the warning signs before entering the water. It suits a half-day drive detour.
