Remote wilderness park accessible only by boat or walking. Coastal scenery and tropical rainforest. South of Cooktown. Campers must book in advance and obtain a camping permit.
Dense tropical rainforest grows in Cedar Bay National Park, a remote coastal park south of Cooktown in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Sandy beaches and fringing reefs are backed by rainforest. Tulip oaks, Daintree pendas, tall rainforest cycads, fan palms and milky pines grow in the rainforest. Much has never been logged or disturbed. Windswept vegetation covers exposed hillsides.
Cedar Bay is home to a wonderful variety of wildlife including the vulnerable southern cassowary and rare Bennett's tree-kangaroo. The adjacent waters are protected in marine parks.
