Armstrong Beach

Armstrong Beach is a 12-minute drive from the township of Sarina. From Sarina, head south along the Bruce Highway and turn left onto Armstrong Beach Road, signposted from the highway. Armstrong Beach is renowned for its fishing and prawning, both of which are best attempted from the beach. A Four Wheel Drive is required to launch a boat from the beach. There is a small community at Armstrong Beach, and accommodation is available at the local caravan park. From Armstrong Beach head to Freshwater Point, which is where Captain Cook first landed in 1770 looking for freshwater, hence its name. Armstrong Beach facilities include a picnic area.
