Fitzroy Island HoneymoonWith a 339ha national park, a picturesque rocky foreshore indented with white-sand beaches and coral reefs almost completely surrounded the island, Fitzroy offers a perfect playground for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and bushwalking on a honeymoon or romantic getaway holiday. Things to do and seeDip your toes into the powder-white sand of Nudey Beach, a picture-perfect beach framed by nature-sculpted rocks that shelve into clear water perfect for snorkelling and swimming. Look out for clownfish, parrotfish, anemone fish, wrass and the occasional green sea turtle. Kayak the sheltered waters of Welcome Bay, take a diving day trip the Great Barrier Reef and spot monitor lizards, skinks and pythons from trails that weave through the national park. Enjoy 360-degree panoramic views from the island’s summit and lighthouse, which sits on the northwest point of the island overlooking Little Fitzroy Island and Cape Grafton. From this vantage point you can easily spot humpback whales during their migration from June to August. AccommodationBe pampered at Fitzroy Island’s only resort, the 3-star Fitzroy Island Resort.
