Lizard Island General Information
Though Lizard Island is a relative speck off the Queensland coast, it represents one of the most worthwhile holiday trips intrepid travellers have at their disposal outside of Cairns. Home to spectacular coastline scenery, the island is a de facto national park some 1,625 km north of Brisbane and 93 km from Cooktown. The traditional home of the Dingaal Aboriginal people, Lizard Island is a small but vital part of the extraordinary Great Barrier Reef UNESCO World Heritage Site. For most visitors, access to the island and national park, which spans six islands in total, comes via Lizard Island Airport from Cairns. ... Read more »
As a conservation sanctuary and upscale tropical resort, Lizard Island has boundless allure for a wide variety of tourists. The Australian Museum’s research station on the island is a notable global pioneer in the study of coral reef systems. Awestruck first-time visitors can well fathom why the Sydney, New South Wales outfit operates a post on the island. On the other side of Lizard Island, the swish and ultra-luxe Lizard Island Resort lures those who truly want to escape the pressures of the daily grind in style. Aside from idyllic beach scenery, the island has few landmarks, with Mrs. Watson’s Cottage the one notable exception. All told, Lizard Island is a gorgeous slice of unspoilt paradise to enjoy.
