The locality is bounded to the west by the Mossman Daintree Road and a cane tramway line to the Mossman Sugar Mill and to the east by the Coral Sea. It is partly bounded to the north by Coop Creek and Saltwater Creek and to the south by the Mossman River, which enters the Coral Sea at the south-eastern point of the locality. The town is spread along on the coastline with most houses only two streets from the beach. The remainder of the land, all of which is low-lying, is predominantly used for agriculture, mostly sugarcane.{{Queensland Globe|accessdate=26 November 2018}}
