Today the town boasts the best and most comprehensive facilities on Cape York Peninsula, a real oasis for travellers and cattle station personnel.
The town is well serviced with a Woolworths shopping centre and a dozen specialty shops, a hotel/motel and a resort and also a dedicated fishing lodge and camping ground with self contained cabins.
A new hospital, 2 private doctors and a daily plane service from Cairns. A nine hole golf course, bowls club, pistol range, squash courts, and motorcycle and speedway racing also compliment the town’s attractions.
Today, Weipa is the hub of Cape York and a great place to visit.
