Cape Melville is a national park comprising Cape Melville, Melville Range, and Bathurst Bay. While the region is rich with aboriginal history, it is most significant for its rocky headlands and endemic wildlife and flora. Several species that live within park bounds are unique to the area due to its remoteness and extraordinary ecosystems. Perhaps the best example is the foxtail palm, known for its bushy fronds, which grows between granite boulders along the coast. Activities include boating, picnicking, and fishing. Crocodiles and stinging jellyfish abound the park's waters.
