South of the Tully River is a 25 km section of essentially undeveloped beaches and tidal creeks. It contains four beaches bordered by five creeks. They are all backed by extensive low, sandy beach and foredune ridge plains that extend up to 5 km inland. Due to the low, wet, sandy nature of the soils the land was not cleared for farming and now the three southern beaches and backing plains are part of the Edmund Kennedy National Park. The only vehicle access to the park is at the southern end at Meunga Creek where there is a camping area and creek boat ramp, plus a resident crocodile. The beaches begin on the southern side of the Tully River. The first (790) is 6.5 km long, faces east-south-east and runs from Tully River to Murray River. It consists of extensive tidal shoals off the river mouths, a narrow high tide beach fronted by a wide low tide bar and additional outer bars at low tide. read more
