Overview
Favoured by nature and flavoured by some of the country’s best farmland, this is truly the king of islands. With ocean views like those on Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes golf courses – both ranked among the top 20 courses in Australia – good luck concentrating on the tee.
The surf that rolls into the island has also been rated among the best in the world. Stock up on the island’s cheese, beef, gin and beer, grab a crayfish pie and prepare for a DIY feast on the shores at the colourful and quirky Restaurant With No Food.
