The beach is great especially when the tide is going out - little crabs everywhere. It was amazing to watch!

If you love the beach, you cannot do better than Four Mile Beach. Absolutely gorgeous! Just walk along the beach to start your day and everything else will fall into place.

Great beach to go for a walk, due to "stingers" it was not recommended to swimming. We spoke to the local life guard down there who informed us of the various jelly fish problems.

maybe because we were at the end of the season but the beach was deserted for most of its length. The lifeguarded swimming area was quite small, although again probably to do with the season.Lots of pure sand backed up by trees and dunes - super

Beautiful palm/coconut trees all along the beach give it a fantastic cosmetic look & the beach is clean. Great for going for a walk/run/ walking the dog on a sunny day. Went for sunrise (which didn't actually rise due to heavy clouds that day) but great none the less :) Take your mosquito repellant!

Four Mile Beach is wide and has a very small angle into the sea which is great for younger children. With all Qld beaches one must research the time of year to avoid 'stingers' and obey swimming between the flags to avoid rips. We found just walking along the beach exhilarating despite the weather (see photoes). The next day we... More

Visually beautiful. Unfortunately the firm sand, vast seaweed and irritating sand flies make this difficult to enjoy. No access to the water at this time of year due to jelly fish

I see all the reviews talking about not being able to swim, it's true, during the wet season there are Stingers/Jellyfish, and all year round there is the *chance* of Crocodiles. But if you come to Far North Queensland without knowing that, then you haven't done much research. It's just a part of life up here, the beaches are largely... More

As this is tropical Queensland you do not expect to go sea swimming in the stinger season and the netted area provides a reasonable alternative with the beachside trees giving access to plenty of shade. The overall ambiance is excellent with the sweep of the sand and the background of the mountainous tropical rainforest. A stroll along the beach is... More
