Explore Cape Ranges National Park

Cape Ranges National Park is comprised of over 50,000 hectares of mountains, beaches, and canyons. The national park is full of over 600 species of flowers and more than 100 bird species. Spend time exploring the national park with scenic hikes, strolls along the beach, and swimming in the crystal clear ocean waters.

Relax on the beach at Turquoise Bay

Turquoise Bay gets its name from the turquoise waters that lap the shore. The sparkling water lining the chalky white sands makes for a stunning scene. Spend time swimming when you’re not relaxing on the beach. Or you can hire a sea kayak or snorkel gear to explore the colourful coral reefs lining the shore.
