The area known as Cow Bay is named after the Sea Cows or Dugongs that graze on the sea grass meadows in the bay. It is truly a beautiful part of the Daintree, rich in rare flora and fauna, from the most colourful butterflies, to the endangered cassowary, Australia’s second largest bird.
Cow Bay boasts some fine restaurants and cafes all within easy walking distance from the retreat and some will even cook your catch for your dinner.
The pristine Cow Bay beach is only 5 minutes by car, a delightful bike ride of 15 minutes or a leisurely stroll of 30 minutes and is typical of Far North Queensland where the rainforest meets the reef.
Get away from the crowded beaches of the south, stretch out on the golden sands to add to your tan or sit back and enjoy the scenery under a shady tree only metres from the water.
