Keppel Bay Islands

When you set foot on one the Keppel Islands you will feel as though you have stepped into an island paradise where the 'squeaky-clean' white sand flows between your toes and the ocean sparkles before your eyes. Whether you're visiting Great Keppel for a lazy Sunday picnic lunch, or staying for a couple of weeks, you can't fail to be impressed by the scenery or the relaxed atmosphere on the island.

With the protection of a fringing reef, the waters surrounding the Keppels are amazingly calm, making it perfect for all types of water sports such as snorkeling, sea kayaking, water-skiing and tubing.

Accommodation on Great Keppel Island ranges from tents and cabins or even a private beach house on the water's edge. The island is approximately 240 hectares in size and is home to 17 pristine white-sand beaches and an interior rich with native flora and fauna, all waiting for you to explore. Take a short beach walk or two hour hike up to the island's lighthouse.

For those looking for a unique island experience, Pumpkin Island offers an island getaway with a difference. With only five eco-friendly cottages on the island, privacy and relaxation are assured, whilst families can enjoy a range of activities.

Camping is allowed in the Keppel Bay Islands National Park of North Keppel Island, Humpy Island, Miall Island, Middle Island, Divided Island & Pelican Island. Visitors must bring their own drinking water and campers require a camping permit. Details and bookings can be made through the National Parks.
