WILSON BEACH

Public BBQ

Wilson Beach presents a sobering reminder of nature's reclaim over infrastructure. The once-functional swimming enclosure now lies in considerable disrepair, its broken barriers offering little protection from the Burdekin River's murky waters. What strikes you immediately is the location's proximity to crocodile habitat - this isn't merely theoretical danger but a genuine concern locals take seriously. The BBQ facilities, while present, feel somewhat incongruous given the deteriorated state of the surrounding amenities. The river mouth setting provides an undeniably dramatic backdrop, though one that commands respect rather than relaxation. Families seeking a traditional barbie experience might find more suitable venues elsewhere, as the combination of damaged infrastructure and crocodile presence makes this location better suited for brief visits rather than extended picnicking. The site serves as an interesting stop for those exploring the region's coastal areas, but swimming is decidedly off the agenda.
