Cooya Beach

This beach is a great spot for fishing and walking or running with your dog. Just be cautious of crocodiles in the area. There's also a lady selling fresh, high-quality fruit nearby at a reasonable price. I highly recommend trying the fruit.

Spacious secluded beach with picnic area, playground, parking, and BBQ facilities.

It was a pleasant spot. I was taken aback to find a dog beach where dogs can roam freely next to a sign cautioning about crocodiles...

Unfortunately, there is some litter left behind which is a shame for such a beautiful spot. There are public toilets and a boat ramp available. The beach is quite secluded. I thought I saw a cloud that looked like a crocodile, but thankfully it wasn't the real thing. It would be perfect for a refreshing swim in the sea. 😜
