The locals always knew it! It was only a matter of time before the rest of the world caught on. Water sports enthusiasts have finally 'discovered' the exciting new aquatic playground of the Gove Peninsula, on the remote north eastern tip of Arnhem Land.
With its striking coastline, clear blue waters, glistening white beaches, secluded bays and abundant offshore islands and reefs, this tropical gem on the edge of the Arafura Sea could not have remained Australia's best kept secret forever.
The local environment is perfect for most outdoor pursuits, particularly during the dry season from May to October when residents enjoy a typical tropical climate of cool, cloudless and balmy conditions with day time temperatures of between 28-30 degrees Celsius.
