Take a picnic and relax for the day in the tranquill
surroundings of Ship Cove. Swim in the crystal clear shallow waters, dabble in
the creek where Captain Cook made home brew for his crew, share the beach with
the resident wildlife and why not take a short 1 km walk to a beautiful
waterfall. Immerse yourself in the lush native forrest, explore the Queen
Charlotte Track and make it your home for the day.



 



This is a great option for families as you can take your own
picnic and spend the day enjoying all the fun things that the surrounding have
to offer. You will have around 5 hours on shore.



Named by Captain James Cook in 1770 when his ship The Endeavour
anchored here to replenish supplies of food, water and wood. It became a
favourite anchorage of Captain Cook and he returned here a further four times
between 1770 and 1777.
