Photograph ferry departures, industrial port silhouettes and wide Coral Sea vistas at golden hour; seabirds and reef-bound light are visible from the jetty before boarding. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and reflections. Check ferry schedule and check‑in times, allow extra time for passenger processing, bring sun protection. Parking at the terminal is available; the Heron Island trip requires advance booking and island park fees. Drones and reef access are restricted—verify permits.
