Cow Bay
Cow Bay
One of the most beautiful beaches on the Daintree Coast, Cow Bay is actually three bays, all framed by rainforest vegetation and in the sea, patches of reef that entice confident nature lovers and snorkelers to explore further.
As you travel north from the Daintree Ferry and begin the spectacular descent from the Heights of Alexandra, you will become aware that the vegetation is changing. Primitive King Ferns stand out like primordial indicators of rainforest that has changed little since its ancient Gondwana origins.
The Hutchinson Creek catchment is the beginning of the old-world rainforest, where ancient and primitive species occur and also forms a section of Australia’s richest mangrove system.
The Daintree Discovery Centre is well-resourced to explain the wonder of the Daintree Rainforest from the ground to the top of the canopy tower. Just north of the discovery centre, the Cow Bay township is discreetly hidden behind the roadside vegetation. The friendly owners of the Daintree Rainforest Retreat Motel, Daintree Coffee Company and Jambu Bar & Kitchen, Cow Bay Hotel, and Floravilla Ice-cream Company and Art Gallery welcome visitors to the Daintree.
Cow Bay has a number of unique Bed and Breakfasts and Holiday Retreats. It offers quiet, more-restful holiday places, remote from the energy and enthusiasms of backpackers looking for a fun time at the accommodation hub of Cape Tribulation.
Check out the bed and breakfast accommodation options at Epiphyte B&B or Coral Sea Views or the great variety of holiday retreats at Daintree Magic, Daintree Seascapes, Ebenezer Cottage, Moo Bay Muse, Daintree Mountain View Holiday Retreat or Eden Escape. Crocodylus Village Rainforest Resort is just a short walk to Cow Bay beach and offers very good deals to the backpacker and budget market. Daintree Wilderness Lodge is a boutique resort built sensitively into an amazing fan palm forest. Daintree Air Strip is on your right as you leave the Cow Bay area. Keep it in mind for a reef and rainforest flight, or even a quick charter to Cairns or Port Douglas.
