Lord Howe Island Marine Park

The marine park surrounding Lord Howe Island contains the world's southernmost barrier coral reef. The island's marine environment holds over 300 species of algae, 450 species of fish and 120 species of mollusc. Green and Hawksbill turtles are common in summer, but may be observed throughout the year.

Swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving are all popular in the crystal waters of the park, and boat trips and diving tours operate from the island. Accommodation is available in lodges on the island.
