A lagoon of twenty-seven coral islands so remote most Australians could not place it on a map, a Malay-speaking community with its own quiet culture, and snorkelling straight off a beach that barely sees another visitor all week.

The best time to visit The Cocos (Keeling) Islands is Apr–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (82°F).
