"Fitzroy Island" and 5 more views added
Fitzroy Island is one of the many islands scattered across the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system. Easily reached from Cairns yet surrounded by peaceful nature, it has become a favorite getaway, especially among locals. From colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish to ancient rainforests that have remained largely untouched, the island offers the best of both the sea and the mountains.
Standing on the beach where ferries from Cairns arrive, you can look across the brilliant blue sea toward the Australian mainland in the distance. Relax and soak in the easygoing resort atmosphere as you take in the view and imagine the gentle ocean breeze swaying the palm trees.
