A curve of white sand gives way to brilliant blue water, dotted with boats. The large, curved beach provides space for roving groups of families and friends.

One of the largest beaches on the island, Geordie Bay offers enough space for everyone to set down a towel, open up the picnic blanket, and spend their day by the water. Swimming further out into the bay, you'll find excellent snorkelling opportunities. Dive below the gentle waves to come face to face with schools of fish, and even the occasional stingray passing by. Stay until sunset for one of the best views of the island's daily sky shows in an idyllic setting.

While home to bands of curious quokkas, make sure you look without getting too close, and give them the distance they need to enjoy their island home.
