Heading north on the Capt Cook Highway out of Cairns you first encounter Daintree at Rocky Point, the start of Wonga Beach. It is the first time that you see a beach since Yule Point which is well to the south of Port Douglas.
The highway conveniently does not disturb Wonga Beach residents as it runs well back from the beach. Marlin Drive, Wonga Beach Road and Vixie's Road are all on the right of the highway and lead straight down to the beach.
