Cruising the region

Lizard Island is a granite island about 10 square kilometres in size, with three smaller islands nearby (Palfrey, South and Bird). Together these islands form the Lizard Island Group and their well-developed fringing reef encircles the 10 metre deep Blue Lagoon.

There is ample anchoring room inside the lagoon. The resort is currently closed for repairs following a cyclone.
