Winter at Kurrimine Beach is something truly special. The days are warm and sunny, the fishing is at its best, and it’s the time of year we welcome back many familiar faces who return to spend the cooler months with us. There’s a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and feel right at home.
While we’re well known for our family-friendly facilities, we also understand that many of our guests are looking for a peaceful and affordable getaway. That’s why we offer special rates and seasonal activities tailored to mature travellers and grey nomads — without expecting you to pay extra for facilities you may never use. Our busiest family periods and nomad season rarely overlap, so guests can still enjoy the laid-back lifestyle Kurrimine Beach is known for.
With only 42 sites, our park has a welcoming community feel where friendships are quickly formed, happy hours appear spontaneously, and neighbours become lifelong mates. We don’t have permanent residents — just travellers who planned to stay a few nights and somehow find themselves still here months later! Many of our guests return year after year, and we think that says everything about the magic of Kurrimine Beach.
Morning Teas (JUN – SEP)
Wednesday mornings are all about fresh scones and friendly faces! Our weekly morning tea has become a favourite with guests — a wonderful chance to relax, enjoy a cuppa, indulge in homemade scones, and catch up with both old friends and new ones alike.
Fishing
Did you know Kurrimine Beach is regarded as one of North Queensland’s premier fishing destinations? From beach and reef fishing straight off the shoreline, to productive estuaries, tropical creeks, and nearby outer reef adventures, the options here are endless for anglers of all levels.
Despite its small population of around 750, Kurrimine Beach is home to one of the largest fishing clubs in North Queensland — a true reflection of just how important fishing is to the local lifestyle. A drive through town quickly reveals boats in every yard, and even old tractors repurposed for launching boats at any tide. In fact, boat sheds often rival the size of many homes!
If you’re staying a while, joining the local fishing club is a great way to tap into local knowledge, pick up the best fishing tips, and make a few mates along the way.
Here in Kurrimine, fishing isn’t just a pastime — it’s a way of life. It’s not uncommon to be greeted with a friendly “Been fishin’, mate?” followed closely by “Catch anything?”
Pet Friendly
Your fur-kids are welcome here too! We simply ask that they are kept on a lead, well controlled, and that you clean up after them — just the usual caravan park etiquette.
There’s plenty of space for walks along Kurrimine Beach for a good run and play, and we even provide a dog bath to rinse off the sand before heading back to your van or cabin. For added convenience, there’s also a dedicated washing machine for pet blankets, helping keep everything fresh during your stay.
Book Your Getaway
