Chili Beach- Cape York Way


Chili Beach is a oasis paradise from the road dust.  It is located enroute to The Cape and east to the Coral Coast. It boasts miles of deserted beach with coconuts everywhere. Beautifully senic it lends visions of the movie Castaways where Tom Hanks starred as a plane wreck servivor on a deserted tropical island. We weren't the only ones that had this thought. Wilson, Tom's symbolic tribal vodoo friend was recreated on many of the washed ashore coconuts by previous travellers and left by a tree as a shrine.
The road to Chili is for the brave and adventurist so it isn't uncommon to be alone here.
 The magical atmoshere is native and wild and well worth the effort.  The kids turned savage making spears, palm fraund huts, collecting coconuts and hacking away wildly the husks.  We dined on fresh coconut meat and coconut water became the drink of choice. If we had stayed any longer the would have made a raft to sail away to the GBF.
