Finch Bay

Very scenic and clean beach with enormous granite boulders as the backdrop. The walking track from the Botanical Gardens was special and well shaded. Many huge stringy bark trees ... quite beautiful. The track was well defined but with lots of steps.

A short drive out of cooktown to see this magical Beach.

Because I can run around naked lol it quite and beautiful beach

Big rock, great place for taking photos.

Loved it very pretty i think fishing could be lots fun there to

Beautiful beach and creek

Nice small bay so sad you can't swim here

Beautiful quiet beach.Fine to walk your dog, just need to be croc wise I haven’t actually seen one.The nature is absolutely divine just like Cooktown itself.

AMENITIES* Toilet* Bin* Litter bagsYou can drive, or walk 800 meters from the Cooktown Botanical Gardens.The bay itself is sheltered between two granite rock buffs on either side.Sand crabs scurry about during high tide amongst their sand balls.A large rock (Whale Rock) can be scaled to see an elevated view of the Bay itself and take a few photos.Towards the opposite end upon entry is a path to reach the Botanical Gardens 800 meters or Cherry Tree Bay is a 1km away by foot. Google stated that Cherry Tree would take 30 minutes each way and the path is moderate to walk/climb.We saw some local boys netting in the water, apparently crocodiles do not frequent the bay. But they were on the far left of crocodile creek. There are signs that remind you that the appearance of a crocodile is a possiblity. Err on the side of caution and do not go for a swim.Dog owners like to bring them unleashed to run up & down the bay. If you are nervous with dogs, this might be an issue for you.NOTE DOG OWNERSThere are litter bags and a bin. If you intend on unleashing your pooch, please save our feet & stomachs by picking up their hot dogs left on the sand!!

nice little quiet beach with very little people on it,there is a walking track that that starts from behind the huge granite rock at the north end of the beach,one that goes to cherry tree bay the other leads back to the cooktown botanic gardens
