This was a quick stop on the way to Cape Tribulation just to see where the beach really does meet the rainforest. Our guide told us not to go near the water, reciting a story of 2 ladies who went for a late night swim & had a crocodile grab & kill one of them just a few years ago.
Still, lots of lovely photos to be taken.

Pristine beach easily reached from the carpark.
Not sure about swimming! There are definitely crocodiles so caution when you are walking!

Great beach for wandering and beach combing...crowded means 10 people. Do go over for sunrise, it's worth tge early start...and check out the restaurant while you're there ..great place for a chilled bevvie, and a chilled out relax.

Thornton Beach is a short slip off the main road, and then short walk to the water
Looking out to Struck Island gives the andscape that bit more interesting factor

Thornton beach is easily accessible via parking lots from a couple of different points. Excellent beach to walk along and enjoy the quiet emptyness.

We visited this beautiful quiet beach as part of our full-day guided tour of the Daintree area with Australian Luxury Escapes. We only stopped for a short time and had the weather been a little warmer it could almost have been paradise. Another amazing beach to stroll along at the point where the forest meets the surf. Only our small group were present when we visited so it was nice and peaceful. Nice views and a good photo opportunity.

We spent several days in the Daintree, north of the Ferry. There are several great beaches to stroll and explore in the area, but in my opinion this is the best of them.
Chances are you will be close to the only people on the beach, which is remarkable considering how beautiful it is. Just remember - NO SWIMMING - and keep an eye out for crocs.

This beach is gorgeous, we are so lucky in Australia to have access to these amazing beaches. No swimming though the dinosaurs are lurking!
