Cape Palmerston is an amazing place for beach 4WD’ing and camping, with plenty of fishing and national parks to explore. It's quite a journey to get there, but worth it for the secluded campgrounds and breathtaking views. The beach fishing is great, and there are no crocs or stingers to worry about. There's a fuel station at the turn off to the National Park, and Sarina is 20 minutes away with all the supplies you need. You won't forget the beauty of a full moon over this magical place. So come and explore Windmill Bay!
