Wonga Beach is a 10.5 km long, east facing beach that runs in a sinuous curve from Rocky Point north to the mouth of the Daintree River. It occupies part of the wide Trinity Bay (named by Captain Cook on the day of the same name); he commented on its shallow sea floor. The southern 4 km are backed by houses and a caravan park, all located on a 1 km wide sand plain (barrier) behind the beach. There is a beach boat ramp in front of the park. The beach is fringed by casuarina trees and has a moderately steep and narrow high tide beach, which at low tide is fronted by sand flats more than 100 m wide, particularly in the south. The Daintree runs behind the northern end of the beach, which is undeveloped and slowly curves around in lee of the Daintree River mouth shoals. The shoals extend up to 2 km east of the beach.
