The Fitzroy Island Resort is a great option for a Queensland weekend. Family-owned and operated, the resort is an easy boat ride from Cairns and is a popular hub for snorkeling and diving because of its location in the center of a stunning reef system that is within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

The island itself is a whopping 838 acres large, with a national park area spanning 796 acres of it. The resort, which sits right on the shores of the island, features marvelous beach fronts perfect for swimming and enjoying watersports such as boating and yachting. Guests who want to explore the rest of the island can embark on summit walks or track to hidden gems on the island like the Secret Garden, and one of the most iconic beaches in Queensland – Nudey Beach.
