Heron Island
A coral cay you can walk around in under twenty minutes with the reef starting literally at the waterline, turtles nesting on the beach in season and hatching a few months later in full view, and no cars or day-trippers to interrupt the quiet.
The best time to visit Heron Island is Oct–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (80°F).
