Port Neill is a small beachfront town, located 2 km off the Lincoln Highway (Fig. 4.117). It lies in lee of Cape Burr, whose protection lead to its establishment as a wheat port last century. The 200 m long jetty remains, while today the town caters to the residents, shack owners and the seasonal influx of a holiday-makers. Three beaches abut the town and cape. The 1 km long Port Neill beach (661) begins as a low energy north-facing beach in lee of the cape fronted by 50 m wide sand flats. It curves round to face east at the northern end where waves average less than 1 m and maintain a narrow attached bar. Fifty beachfront shacks line the beach either side of the jetty, with a caravan park on the cape, and the town extending in behind the shacks. A deep water, all weather boat ramp is located in lee of the southern point. read more
