Humpy Island

Just south of Great Keppel Island is Humpy Island. This is the national park's most popular island for camping. Steep slopes, covered mostly in grassland or stunted heath and shrubland, descend to rugged rocky headlands along the southern shore. A beautiful beach frames the western and northern sides and offers easy access to diverse fringing coral reefs for snorkelling. Humpy island has plenty of bushland trails dotted with wildflowers for scenic walks. Dolphins are frequent visitors and whales can often be seen around the islands in September. The camping area along the northern beach is sheltered from the sun and wind by casuarina groves.
