A clear blue sea with a small rocky island surrounded by shallow waters.
A sand sculpture of a turtle on a beach.


Few things beat spending time by the seaside. Round up the crew, put together a picnic and get out into the fresh air at Thornton Beach.

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Douglas Shire. Thornton Beach is a great place to start here, but there are plenty of other fine spots to consider. Alexandra Bay Waterfall, Daintree Discovery Centre, and Daintree Entomological Museum are near the stretch of coastline and will fill in your day nicely.
