FREE. Where the rainforest meets the reef, named by Cook because his troubles began here. THE BEACH IS BEAUTIFUL AND YOU SHOULD NOT SWIM: stingers for half the year, crocodiles all year.

The planner warns of wet in January, February, March. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
