The road is suitable for all vehicles although after heavy rain may become slippery or soft in places.

Boats can be launched from the beach with 4 wheel drive.

There are two resorts, Montes and Cape Gloucester just a short drive or a short ride in your boat where you can enjoy resort-style refreshments and meals.
The nearest shop is Dingo Beach. About 5 km. Nearest towns, Proserpine or Airlie Beach approx 50km.

Stunning location
We had a wonderful vacation, the accommodation was neat, tidy and clean. It was self-contained with enough options available to easily manage 8 nights of living in paradise virtually off the grid. Caught some great fish, the sunsets were stunning and it was by far the best break I have had from work in years. We will definitely be back!

Changes in paradise
Third time at this property the owners have been steadily improving the facilities, however the guests don’t seam to look after things as they should. Location is paradise if you want away from the world to relax and a dream spot for beach and boat fishing. Proud to leave the property better than we found it. Will be back again

What a place to relax!
Minimum seven nights stay actually was a bonus as it forced us to have to stay longer than our usual 3 nights. I can honestly say it’s the first time I have truly relaxed and unwinded in a long time. Seclusion and peacefulness. Beautiful beach. We also were able to bring our two dogs who also loved their holiday. This place is value plus for money. We will definitely be back.

Awesome Location
The location is truly awesome although the cabin is not beach front which we did not realise from the marketing. We also thought we were in the Sinclair Bay Resort by the way it was worded, which is beach front in the next bay around. All that aside, it was a great week on a beautiful beach, with amazing fishing, crabbing, beach walks, sunsets, etc. Boat launching is via beach/rocks is tidal & definitely not for amateurs which we witnessed with our neighbours bogging their 4WD to the axles & needing to be towed out. We didn't have any problems after deflating tyres & low 4WD. Cabin could have done with a deep clean, especially before Xmas, but we left it cleaner than how we got it, so hopefully the next people enjoyed that. Also some of the plumbing needs upgrading/fixing with grey water overflowing causing a bit of a smell while sitting in outdoor area around BBQ. All up, for the money, really good fishing holiday & awesome location.
