Take a right about 9km north of Ingham and a further 18km East, you
will reach Lucinda, a sleepy little town on the coast that nestles almost
on the southern shore of the world's largest island National Park, Hinchinbrook
Island. Lucinda also boasts the world's longest bulk sugar jetty. And
that's not all. Where else can you see dugongs, dolphins, turtles and
crocodiles all within a stones throw of land. Granted, you may have to
take a boat, but that can be arranged if you don't have your own. 
One of the best things about Lucinda is that a family holiday can be
just that. There is safe swimming with a stinger net installed, one of
the best fishing jetties on the east coast, a vast expanse of sand flats
that can be walked and explored, soft white sand to sunbathe on, and an
excellent all weather 3- lane boat ramp, all in an area that boasts some
of the best fishing in Australia.
This area of the Hinchinbrook Coast is fast becoming a popular holiday
destination. Visitors flock to the area for a chance to walk the world
famous Thorsborne Trail on Hinchinbrook Island to see the diverse array
of natural phenomena. |
