Etty Bay Beach — Attraction in Etty Bay

🏖 Etty Bay, FNQ 🏖

Check out this magical little cove just out of Innisfail. 🌿🐳

We remember seeing Aussie Destinations Unknown staying here and knew we had to check it out while we were in the area. 👍

We got to meet a few of the locals too. A cheeky cassowary came strolling along the picnic areas scavenging food. He did break up one party's lunch and let's just day he was very persistent! The lifeguards had to come over to try shoo him off, but he wasn't budging.

The friendly, resident goanna seemed to be wandering around like he owned the joint. 😄

The kids were happy surfing waves for about an hour when Allan swears that he spotted something suspect in the waves (it was rather croc-shapped). The lifeguards assured us it was probably a turtle as there hasn't been a croc sighting around there for ages... I guess we will never know. 🤔

Anywho, we got out of the 💦water and headed back to the Johnston River in Innisfail for a spot of croc spotting. Success - we saw our first two salties! 🐊🐊

Etty bay is by far the most picturesque beach in FNQ, and my all-time favourite beach to visit.

It is national part and not dog friendly, while its no fun for you furry fren to get fomo, you get to enjoy the view, and tranquillity of this beach with its native resident dinosaur chickens and dragin size goannas, without ypur furry pal losing a limb.

Its not encouraged to feed the wildlife. However, sometimes they give you no choice! They do get quite close and personal, so make sure you pack your luch in an esky so you don't end up sacrificing you sammich to these land gods!

If you have your penut in tact you'd not be so bold as to persue the dino chookie or wingless beasts, because they are heckin dangerous when threatened.

Its a great time, and a wonderful experience if you use your noggin!

Stay smart, kiddos! Enjoy nature at its finest...
