Frangipani Beach is a beautiful stretch of sand to the west of Pajinka, the most northern tip of Mainland Australia. It's a stunning sight at low tide when you can walk along the bay and out to some of the rocks at the further end of the beach.

The car park for Pajinka is at the north end of the beach, and at low tide you can walk around the mangrove trees and climb up the rocks to reach the Tip.

As with all waterways in this part of the world, be watchful for crocodiles.

The location, overlooking Catseye Beach, was perfect for us. The beach was a short walk away, and there were nearby restaurants, buggy hire and souvenir shop. The room was clean, spacious and well-equipped. The staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed 7 night s there and would happily go back.
