Crayfish Beach, Hook Island

Crayfish Beach is located on the eastern side of Hook Island. The beach is positioned between two large mountains and is immensely beautiful, with bush lands, sand, clear water and a coral reef. Due to the location, the beach is sheltered from the prevailing south-easterly winds which makes it an ideal camp site.
Only metres offshore, discover the expansive fringing reef flat offering perfect conditions for snorkelling and drift dives. Spend an afternoon kayaking or canoeing the deep blue waters of the Coral Sea and exploring the surrounding bays of Hook Island.

The camping area is set amongst beach vegetation, with a small seasonal creek (subject to rainfall) that flows through the camping area to the beach on the north-western side of the bay. The camp site surface is sand and dirt.

A camping permit is required to camp at Crayfish Beach. The campground has a capacity of 12 people (six small tents). Open fires are not permitted in the Whitsunday Islands National Park.

Crayfish Beach can be reached during a mid to high tide by boat (only).
