Stanage Bay is located on Thirsty Sound North of and at the end of 100 km of dirt travelling through a range of cattle properties. Arguably the premier mud crab catching location south of
Cooktown at certain times of the year. Access to a range of offshore Island groups including the Percy's. Closest mainland spot to the Swain Reefs. Huge tides with only semi safe navagation during the top half of the tide. Sealed
boat ramp with Coastguard (Thirsty Sound) nearby. Tides ranges regularly exceed 7 meters. Fuel, food , tackle, bait and cold beer all available plus
free camping. No fresh water so take your own.
