Its a 50 minute drive from Cairns Airport towards Port Douglas.Keep eyes out for surfers down a rocky cliff. The best way to find it is to remember that it is the first beach south of Turtle Cove Resort.
Park your car just off the road (beach side) and walk down the cliff face following the tracks. this is a secret local spot but wont bother them if you surf there. Wear a long spring suit to avoid getting stung by jellyfish. This place is really pumping on huge swells.
Overview
Atmosphere
This spot is a bay and the only beach brake in the far north, when pumping, waves get as good as a world class surfing beach. Definetly the best time to surf is when a cyclone is very close, Even during one if your keen.
ok

RatShit Bay
This is NOT surf!! peolple who swim (surf) here don't know what surfing really is. Not there fault cos there is NO surf in Cairns. RatShit Bay is a CRAP shoredump wave that is 1/2 to 1 foot that closes out on to the sand. Sorry All but when we all want surf it is 2 hours on a big bird.
