This park includes eight islands formed from coral fragments, which rise just a few metres above the high tide mark. Their biological diversity, exceptional beauty and endangered plants and animals make them internationally significant. The cays and nearby coast support the largest breeding population of endangered loggerhead turtles in the South Pacific and up to 75 per cent of all seabird species in the Great Barrier Reef visit each year.
Anchor in the sheltered lagoon at Lady Musgrave Island. Go reef walking, snorkelling, diving, birdwatching, boating and fishing. Camping is permitted on three islands. Purchase permits in advance. Seasonal closures protect breeding seabirds, turtles and vegetation.
