North Smoky Beach, Beach in Arakoon, Australia.
North Smoky Beach extends along the northern side of Smoky Cape Lighthouse, offering an extensive stretch of sand and coastal vegetation.
The beach received its name from Matthew Flinders in 1802 when he observed smoke signals from Indigenous Australian communities rising from the coastline.
The surrounding area contains numerous Aboriginal cultural sites, reflecting generations of connection between Indigenous peoples and this coastal region.
Visitors can reach the beach through Jack Perkins walking track, which descends from Captain Cook's Lookout where parking and picnic facilities exist.
The beach lacks lifeguard services and maintains its natural state, providing an environment where swimmers need to exercise personal responsibility.
