I've been to a lot of beaches over the last couple of years. This is one of the best. White, fine sand to dig in. No big waves to sneak up on small bears and get them all wet. Great coral and fish offshore to get the oldies out snorkelling and out of my hair for a while. Lots of boats of all sorts to look at. Even Captain Cook (the original one) liked the place when he visited here in 1770. He called the island Lizard Island because of the big sand goannas that live here. The big hill is called Cook's Look because he climbed up there to look for a way out through the reefs to open sea. We went there with today's Captain Cook crew. Can you see where I am hiding in the picture? And can you guess why I am there? (hint: crabs can't climb).
