Yorkeys Knob is always remembered by visitors to Far North Queensland because of its unusual, and almost comical name! Named after a local fisherman, Yorkey, who lived on the rocky hill, otherwise known as the Knob, adjacent to Half Moon Beach in the late 19th century.
According to The Knob, A History of Yorkeys Knob by Mary T Williams, "the Knob itself is the first headland north of the Harbour of Cairns, a cheeky headland layered in rock with a fuzz of timber. Its boulders tumble into the sea in arrow fashion forming a calm bay on its northern side and giving the surf full play to the south. The bay is called Half Moon Bay because of its crescent-shaped white beach and cradles a tidal river running up to and fed by the massive range. On earth level at any angle or off-shore, the lumpy and picturesque Knob invites an explanation why a man nicknamed Yorkey gave to this Knob a meaning."
So, now you won't giggle everytime you hear the name Yorkeys Knob!
Only 15m north of Cairns, Yorkeys Knob has a gorgeous beach which is rarely trodden by the tourism masses. Still a sleepy beach village, many love Yorkeys Knob for its inexpensive accommodation and relaxed, casual surrounds. The beach is a calm and safe one for swimming, a world class marina of 200 berths is sheltered behind the knob, and a magificent 18 hole golf course prides itself on stunning ocean views.
