The most beautiful islands in Australia will get you excited

Australia is full of drama, from its untamed landscapes and breathtaking coasts to its vast desert and metropolis skylines.

Lord Howe Island in Australia

Nirvana is located in the Tasman Sea, east of Port Macquarie. Lord Howe Island arose from the ashes of a seven million-year-old volcano; filled with lush green trees and white sandy beaches surrounded by a brilliant ocean of marine blue, it is easy to see why this has become the postcard image of Australian island paradise. This UNESCO World Heritage property is home to an astounding amount of local birds, marine life, and large coral-filled sparkling waters. Activities on this UNESCO World Heritage property include, but are not limited to, hiking, fishing, bird watching, snorkeling, and diving.

Bedarra Island

Bedarra Island (also known as Richards Island) is a tropical island retreat located off the coast of Queensland in Australia’s north-east. This private island offers explorers a welcome dose of isolation (and luxury) throughout their stay; surrounded by deep tropical rainforests, coves, bays, caverns, and spectacular granite rock formations that have beached in endless pathways of white sand, this is the ideal romantic vacation island.

Fraser Island in Australia

Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island, therefore it’s difficult to be anything less than ideal. It’s no wonder this UNESCO World Heritage site on Queensland’s coast has established a consistent reputation among tourists and holidaymakers over the last decade. Fraser Island is often regarded as one of Australia’s most beautiful islands. The island stretches for 123 kilometers and provides tourists with up-close and personal contact with the Great Barrier Reef and its wonders, as well as a plethora of on-island activities such as four-wheel-driving its ‘beach highway’ and fishing.

The Cocos (Keeling) Islands

The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are an Australian territory located in the vast Indian Ocean. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are nothing short of beautiful, consisting of 27 small islands spread across two coral atolls. This stretch, out of reach for most tourists, provides Instagram-worthy photographs, unspoiled landscapes, beautiful panoramas, technicolor coral displays, fascinating schools of fish, and tropical marine life.

Stradbroke Island

Stradbroke Island is located in northern Australia, just off the coast of Queensland. This is the ideal vacation spot for any month with a subtropical climate that provides comfort to paradise temperatures all year. It is the world’s second biggest sand island (after Fraser Island) and home to a diverse range of plants and animals. It not only has one of the densest populations of bottlenose dolphins in the world, but it is also one of the most productive feeding locations for sea turtles along Australia’s coast.

Moreton Island in Australia

Moreton Island, just north of Stradbroke Island, is another wonderful place for explorers seeking solace in the Land Down Under. Moreton Island is known for its tall sandy dunes, tropical beaches, and unspoiled beauty. It is also the location of the Tangalooma Wrecks, a collection of shipwrecks close to the shore that offer fantastic diving opportunities. It’ll be difficult to stay bored on this short stretch of heaven, with activities ranging from beach tobogganing and dolphin sightings to fishing, surfing, and hiking.
