Fitzroy Island

A steep mountaintop rising from the sea, fabulous Fitzroy Island has coral beaches, giant boulders and rainforest walking tracks, one of which ends at a now-inactive lighthouse. It's a top spot for swimming and snorkelling; one of the best places to lay your towel is Nudey Beach, which, despite its name, is not officially clothing-optional. Unlike the rest of the island away from the resort, Nudey actually has some sand on it.
