Learn more about Shelburne

Shelburne awaits: its parks and more!

So many of Cape York’s waterways are home to crocodiles, which makes a swim at Fruit Bat Falls all the more special. The falls are a 2.7km drive down a sandy track from the Bamaga Bypass Road and the Old Telegraph Track. After having 30-second showers while bush camping for the last few days, a swim here was heaven! 

The road to the falls is best suited to 4WDs (as are most of the roads on the Cape York Peninsula). If it’s busy, finding parking for a van or trailer might be difficult. The falls are very popular. There are toilets here, but no picnic facilities. The site is for day use only. 

Eliot Falls and Twin Falls are further down the Old Telegraph Track, but there is a particularly challenging creek crossing on the way.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shelburne?
The best area to stay in Shelburne is around the Shelburne Beachfront precinct, particularly along Esplanade Drive.

This area is the main visitor hub, offering direct access to the Coral Sea. It's very walkable, with hotels, eateries, and shops lining Esplanade Drive, which runs parallel to the beach. The Shelburne Jetty, a prominent local landmark, is also located here and is a popular spot for a stroll or fishing.

For couples, this area is ideal for a relaxing getaway. You'll find many boutique hotels with sea views and direct beach access, superb for enjoying sunrises or evening walks along the shore. The nearby Shelburne Botanical Gardens offer a tranquil escape, and several upscale restaurants are within easy walking distance for special evenings out.

Families will also find the Shelburne Beachfront precinct very convenient. Many accommodations offer apartment-style living with kitchen facilities, and the beach provides ample space for children to play.
When is the best time to go to Shelburne?
The best time to visit Shelburne is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days, lower humidity, and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the natural beauty of the region. The average daily temperature during this period is around 25-30°C, with minimal rainfall. This is great for those who want to spend their time on the water, whether it's snorkelling, diving, or simply relaxing on the beach.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will find the dry season particularly appealing. The clear skies and comfortable weather create great conditions for enjoying sunset cruises, beach walks, and dining al fresco. The calmer seas also make island hopping and exploring the Great Barrier Reef a more pleasant experience.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season. The stable weather allows for uninterrupted days of swimming, building sandcastles, and participating in guided nature tours.
