The beach stretches on the coast of the Hamilton island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Coral Cove Beach with the locals.

While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

30 minute steep dirt road hike through scrub, but worth the trek! Wear proper shoes and pack food and water. You can’t get here via a golf buggy, you can only walk or 4WD. The beach is pristine and we were the only ones there.

A nice quiet secluded beach away from all the main areas of the island. We found it as part of our ATV tour. Beautiful white sand and crystal clear water. Worth going out of your way for. You can also hike to it or hire a buggy

Lovely little cove on Hamilton Island. We hiked here from Reef View Hotel. You can drive a buggy to a closer starting point but you have to take walk along a maintenance road which isn’t pretty. There is a swing here. It’s a quiet cove worth visiting for a bit.

We walked in here from Saddle Junction, a scenic option but the track is a little rough. Another of the islands isolated small beaches, sandy with some shading palms. Not much in the way of facilities, but the Driftwood Bay views make up for that.

Best beach im Hamilton Island, it takes around 50 minutes to get here from the resort center and it's not accesible by normal car, you can walk (only healthy people as is a long tracking with difficult terrain) or pay for a guided tour with 4x4 buggies.
