FITZROY ISLAND
FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND
Fitzroy Island a short hop from Cairns, merely 15 sea miles away, is a perfect weekender. It can be reached by quick and frequent ferry service and offers excellent snorkeling, rainforest walks and Foxy's Bar and Restaurant.
The island has many walking tracks leading to remote beaches or a lighthouse.
The views are spectacular and wildlife plentiful.
Hiking all the way to the Summit can be exhausting but the view enjoyed by Captain Cook back in 1770 is stunning.
Fitzroy Island is a great spot to relax, enjoy the beaches on day trip or stay at the resort or camping ground.
