Somerset is a coastal locality split between the Shire of Torres and the Northern Peninsula Area Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Somerset had "no people or a very low population".
Somerset is the northernmost locality on the Cape York Peninsula and also of the Queensland mainland with Cape York at the northernmost point. It is not the northernmost locality in Queensland, as there are numerous island localities to the north in the Torres Strait.
The Great Dividing Range commences just south of Cape York and extends through to Victoria.
The Northern Peninsula Airport is in the south of the locality (10°56′41″S 142°27′11″E / 10.9447°S 142.4530°E). It is operated by the Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council. It is 10.1 kilometres (6.3 mi) south-east of the town of Bamaga to the west of the locality of Somerset.
There are relatively few roads in the locality:
There is minimal land use within the locality.
The locality has many coastal features, some on the mainland and others on the islands. The northern coast of the locality is comprised on headlands and beaches, while the southern coast is marshland without many features.
