Grasstree beach is one of the three older beach settlements for the nearby town of Sarina. It was traditionally a site of holiday shacks, that in recent years are being replaced by more substantial residences. Two rows of houses extend along the back of most of the 1.7 km long beach, with a grassy foreshore reserve between the houses and the beach. There is a store, and an amenities block and picnic facilities in the reserve. The beach (1139) faces east and is moderately protected by the low northern and southern Coral Point headlands. Cabbage Tree Creek maintains a permanent channel, named Castrades Inlet, at the southern end of the beach. The beach consists of a steep high tide beach fronted by a 150 m wide low tide bar (Fig. 2.14c), with waves averaging less than 0.5 m in the north but decreasing toward the inlet. read more
