History of Godwin Beach

Godwin Beach is named after Charles Godwin (1858-1911) who owned a fish cannery in the area. In 1911, Charles was thrown overboard from his boat and drowned during a storm while he was delivering some salvaged oil barrels to Brisbane. A plaque to memorialise Godwin was erected on Godwin Beach beachfront in 1999.
