Newell Beach, although small has a golf course nearby and a great takeaway shop for when you are having a night in and prefer not to cook. We highly rate the fish n chips at the Newell Beach Takeaway- a short walk down Marine Parade. If you head towards the main road to Mossman-but turn right instead (right after the golf course) towards Daintree, the first turn on your left is an amazing little farm store. Fresh fruit and Veg, local foods and bakery goods that arrive 3 times a week (pies, bread, pastries). If you want to double check when the bakery delivery is call Scomazzon Farm Store: (07) 4010 8313. Newell Beach will soon have an all tide boat ramp (one block away from BALA Beach House) and is an amazing and quiet beach to stroll along.

여행 팁

교통편

A hire car is the best way to get around…..

A hire car is essential as Newell is a 5 minute drive to Mossman and a 20 minute drive to Port Douglas. Hire cars from the airport can be in short supply during peak time- book hire cars in advance! If you want to have a night out in Port Douglas, but you don’t want to drive you can try these options: 1. Port Douglas Taxis: 131 008 2. Sizzling Wheels: 0449 982 783 3. CMB Transfers (Mossman): 0409 729 109 TIP: Book in advance to ensure your ride is confirmed, either earlier in the day or the day before. Ask what the fare is so you know the cost before making your decision.
