Loyalty Beach
A delightful new campground, Loyalty Beach, has been established by the people of
New Mapoon and is situated 3km east of Seisia. The camping area is somewhat quieter
than Seisia and is managed by the Lennox family, again a very pretty spot.

Punsand Bay
Safari and Fishing Lodge offers a little more than the other camping areas. Here you
will find a small swimming pool, permanent tent accommodation and a bar and
restaurant. Visitors are welcome at any time and scenic helicopter flights can be taken
right off of the beach. Punsand Bay is a private reserve with long, white beaches, a
licensed restaurant, camping areas, cabins and amenities. Like Seisia, it's a very pretty
place and lies 11km from Lockerbie along a sandy, often bumpy track. Unfortunately,
you can't swim here because of the crocs and sharks, but the beach is great for a stroll
at sunset and there's an interesting wreck to poke around at the southern end. Fishing
tours and pre-arranged transport to Thursday Island are also available from Punsand
Bay.

now.

Bamaga
11km south east to Jackey Jackey Airfield WW2 wrecks scattered to the west and north
of the strip. One of the better ones was hard to find so here are the GPS coordinates if
you want to check it out (S 10°56.184’ E 142°27.327’)

Mutee Head
which was an army radio base during the war because of the deep water for landing.
Jardine River Mouth (West Coast)

Captain Billy’s Landing

via the Southern Bypass Rd. The caves to the right are flooded at high tide but when
the water is low you can walk right into them, watch your heads and hold your nose as
they are filled with bats. It is almost always windy here, so there is a lovely campsite
back up the road and behind the bushes above the cliffs.
