Cardabia Coast

Explore the myriad of swimming, snorkelling and fishing opportunities next to one of the largest fringing reefs in the world. For the adventurous, visit nearby pristine beaches including Oyster Bridge, The Lagoon, Five Finger Reef and Maud’s Landing, accessible by four-wheel drive. Alternatively you can choose to take it easy and enjoy the sheltered waters of Bills Bay at Coral Bay. Visitors can see an abundance of marine life in the area including whale sharks, manta rays, turtles and fish.
