}}Cowley Beach is a town and a locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2]

History

The town takes its name from the beach which in turn takes its name from Ebenezer Cowley, a horticulturalist and overseer at Kamerunga State Nursery. Prior to 16 November 1991 the town was called Inarlinga.[1]

Geography

Cowley Beach is a {{convert|7.5|km|mi}}-long beach situated between Double Point and Liverpool Creek in northern Queensland,[3] slightly southward of Innisfail.[4]

The Australian Defence Force's Cowley Beach Training Area includes the northern part of the beach and much of its hinterland as well as the nearby Lindquist Island.[5][6] This facility is used for amphibious warfare training, and also includes a rocket range and a cantonment area.[7][6]
