A ringside view of nature at its thriving best, along with the luxury of a beautiful, secluded beach at your disposal. No, we’re not referring to an expensive holiday package offered by a state-of-the-art resort. We speak, instead, of Noah Beach, one of the many coastal gems of the Cape Tribulation area within the Daintree National Park.
It serves as an ideal base from which to coordinate trails and hikes into the Park, and venture into heritage-listed rainforests. And if you’re not much of an explorer, you could just laze at the beach, and watch orange-footed scrubfowls, northern brown bandicoots and lace monitor lizards go about their business without a care in the world.
The welcome sign at Noah Beach invites visitors to enjoy ‘a wild night, every night’. And that is the beauty of this white-sand covered, coconut-tree lined beach, which also marks the edge of one of the richest reserves of biodiversity on the planet. A worthy addition to any traveller’s repertoire, Noah Beach is accessible most times of the year, barring the wet season between January and April.

Free Camping / Low Cost Camping:
Free camping areas are difficult to find near Daintree National Park. Caravanning tourists can make short stops at Queensland’s Roadside Rest Areas, but for a long-term stay, Noah Beach’s in-house camping facility is the most affordable option.
