Review:

Nudey Beach is an award-winning white coral beach with a storied history, originally inhabited by the Gunggandji Aboriginal people and known as Koba, which roughly translates to "the fist." Following Captain James Cook's 18th-century expeditions along Australia's coastline, the beach was used as a smallpox quarantine station, penal colony, and military lighthouse site. Today, the charming beach, which is located along the southwestern shores of Queensland's Fitzroy Island, is home to spectacular native wildlife, including goannas, white-bellied sea eagles, Eastern dusky leaf-nosed bats, and buff-breasted paradise kingfishers, which can be viewed along the Nudey Beach Walking Track. Visitors can also have a rare opportunity to swim and snorkel in waters that are surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef. Overnight stays are offered at the eco-friendly Fitzroy Island Resort, considered to be one of Australia's premiere luxury resorts.
