Get Back to Nature – Walking and Exploring
At Fitzroy Island, it’s all about rainforest, beaches and high reaches. Explore the bush walking tracks, most of which were formed when the island was converted to a Military Base during WW11, hence their access to some of the best vantage points. Enjoy the Lighthouse and Summit walks, Secret Garden and Nudey Beach.

Escape and Unwind on the Beach
Picture yourself on a white sandy beach lined with coconut trees and sloping gently into the calm, clear Coral Sea; this is Fitzroy Island. Step out straight in front of the Resort to Welcome Bay with all its life and activity.
