Yorkeys Knob beach

Yorkeys Knob is an unremarkable beach to the north of Cairns in Australia. There is fine sand and swimming net, but the landscape is not so good as at some neighboring beaches. Yorkeys Knob Boating Club marina is located in the north end of the settlement. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
