The McArthur River has excellent fishing and provides a gateway to the Sir Edward Pellew group of islands. The Mouth of the McArthur River is a maze of tidal creeks and river channels that offer excellent fishing for many species including Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Queenfish, Snapper and Crabs.

Wildlife that can be spotted in the area include Dugong, Sea Turtles, Crocodiles and many bird species.
