About Fitzroy Island National Park
Fitzroy Island National Park is rugged with diverse landscapes featuring granite outcrops, open woodlands, rainforest, mangroves and coral beaches. This island national park, close to Cairns on the mainland, and its surrounding waters form part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. Explore the rainforested Secret Garden track (700 meters return) or walk to Nudey Beach (1.2 kilometres return) to relax in the shade, swim and snorkel. Tackle the 3.6 kilometre return Lighthouse Road track to the lighthouse, which offers spectacular views of the ocean and, in winter, migrating humpback whales. Look for birds such as rose-crowned fruit-doves and metallic starlings and large goannas. Challenge yourself on the 4 kilometre return boulder-strewn Summit track which climbs through woodland to the island's summit (269 meters) where slabs of granite and windswept casuarina trees frame magnificent views over the island, surrounding reefs and mainland. Stay overnight in the resort's camping area or unit accommodation.
