Fringed by seventeen separate white sand beaches encircling its 28km shoreline like a pearl shell necklace, Great Keppel Island offers a unique holiday destination.
Almost astride the Tropic of Capricorn, Great Keppel enjoys a sub-tropical climate and near constant sea breezes which, combined with the turquoise crystal of its waters, creates a holiday escape unique to the region.
Laced with picturesque walking trails, the island lists 10 different tracks ranging from a 15-minute beach walk to a hike to the lighthouse at the island’s tip.
A sanctuary to extensive native flora and fauna including more than 100 species of bird life including kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, drongos and a diverse range of seabirds and with strong Aboriginal heritage links, Great Keppel Island is more than a place to lie in the sun.
Its accessibility – 20 minutes by light aircraft from Rockhampton Airport, or 30 minutes by high speed catamaran from Keppel Bay Marina at Yeppoon – makes it a getaway which can be reached with a minimum of travel trauma.
Great Keppel Island Resort combines gracious Queensland hospitality, comfortable accommodation and abundant facilities for guests seeking to enjoy the island’s many facets while indulging in a traditional holiday focused on families, friends and relaxation.
Whether your perfect holiday consists of balmy days, a cocktail in hand under a palm tree, a hit of golf, snorkelling or all of the above, you’ll be moved by the beauty and charm of this magical island.
