South Molle Island

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

The largest of the Molle Islands group, South Molle is virtually joined to its reef-fringed siblings, Mid and North Molle Islands. The island is mostly national park and is criss-crossed by 15km of walking tracks, with some superb lookout points. There are two partially shaded camping grounds for overnighting, as well as a basic camping ground apiece on the tiny Planton and Denman satellite islets (for that Shipwrecked experience). Day trippers and campers can get to Molle islands with Scamper for $65 return.

Buy camping permits (adult/family per night $6.55/26) online from Queensland Parks & Wildlife before visiting.
