Princess Charlotte Bay is a large bay on the east coast of Far North Queensland at the base of Cape York Peninsula, 350 km north northwest of Cairns. Princess Charlotte Bay is a part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and it is a habitat for the dugong.
Reefs in the bay are described as pristine.[1] Barramundi habitat and associated wetlands exist in declared green zones which restrict commercial fishing.
