Quick island trip, and light reef exploring, feed fish on jetty.
Coral sand is rough I recommend shoes. Great family day out and beautiful clear water swimming.
I spend a lot of time here, there is a great walk to light house for the active families.
I also recommend the Secret garden walk through the rainforest. or a Walk through to Nuddie(not nudist beach!!) Beach.Both is easy for all ages.
The Turtle rehab is a great way to learn about looking after our oceans. Its a great visit for kids, you will need to book at the shop as soon as you arrive as it books out quickly.
There is dining on the island and a bar to party.
