Information

The main beach between Bell Point and Point Sinclair is known as both Cantaby Beach (after the backing sandhills) and as Shelly Beach.
The 19km long beach features relatively coarse brown shelly sands on the eastern end, and fine white carbonate sands on the western end. There is 4WD access to Shelly Beach, which is a popular swimming and surfing spot. The Cantaby Sandhills, which extend up to 4km inland, back the entire beach.
Shelly Beach offers the best location for surf swimming on the whole of Point Sinclair, however a safer (and calmer option) is in the swimming net at Port Le Hunte.
