Overview

Wonga Beach is a coastal locality in the Shire of Douglas, Queensland, nestled between the residential towns of Rocky Point and the Daintree township and lying about 17 km north of Mossman. At the 2021 census the suburb recorded 1,042 residents, enjoying a laid‑back beachside lifestyle that attracts birdwatchers keen to spot the rare Gould’s bronze cuckoo, double‑eyed fig‑parrot and beach stone‑curlew.

Local amenities centre on a single service station – the only fuel outlet in the Daintree Valley – which also houses a small convenience store and an ATM. Families are served by Wonga Beach State School, a SunSmart primary campus that incorporates an eco‑maze project and provides twice‑daily school buses to Mossman, where the nearest secondary school resides. The housing mix reflects the town’s modest growth, including former school buildings that have been repurposed as homes, offering residents a mix of traditional and newer dwellings within walking distance of the beach.
