Consistently ranked among the world's finest beaches, Champagne Beach is a sweeping arc of snow-white sand fringed by ancient pisonia trees. Its name comes from the natural volcanic bubbles that rise through the warm shallows. The water is an impossible shade of turquoise.
A sweeping bay edged with coconut palms, Port Olry is a favourite of those seeking solitude. The calm lagoon is ideal for swimming and snorkelling, with resident reef fish darting through the coral just metres from shore.
