Second Beach is a picturesque 200-meter, steep sandy beach located in East Trinity, Australia. It is characterized by large boulders and a narrow bar/tidal flat, offering a unique coastal experience. The area is known for its natural environment and is part of the broader Daintree Rainforest coast, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The beach is situated in a primarily vegetated area with limited development and is at risk from coastal hazards like erosion. Visitors can take in the stunning natural backdrop and explore nearby attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation.

East Trinity is a small coastal community with a population of less than 300 people, nestled in Yidinji traditional Aboriginal country. The community values its natural ecosystems, mangrove habitats, and culturally significant sites. The area offers opportunities for hiking and bird watching, complementing the beach activities. However, visitors should be cautious as the beach lacks lifeguard services and is not considered family-friendly due to limited amenities.

Despite its remote nature, Second Beach is a great spot for those seeking a more secluded and natural beach experience compared to more popular tourist destinations like Trinity Beach, which is nearby but offers a well-maintained and family-friendly atmosphere.

Visitors to Second Beach have access to a variety of dining options in the nearby areas of Trinity Beach and Cairns.
