Cow Bay Beach is a secluded paradise in the Daintree Rainforest, where lush jungle meets untouched pristine beaches. Here you'll also find one of the most iconic photo spots with the rope swing hanging from a palm tree, where you can grab a classic tropical photo. This part of Queensland gives a true off grid feeling, with no crowds, no development and the beauty of pure nature.

Getting here involves a scenic drive north after you've crossed the Daintree River on the Ferry. The ferry connects the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation with the rest of Far North Queensland so you'll need to cross it to access many of the things to do. One way tickets cost $29 and return tickets cost $49.
