What to do on South Molle Island

South Molle Island offers something for everybody. From pure relaxation on the white beaches to stunning walks to snorkelling in turquoise water through fascinating reefs, South Molle Island has got it all:

Camp by Stunning Beaches

South Molle Island offers you the unique opportunity to camp at some of Australia's most beautiful beaches. With two campsites on the beach, Sandy Bay, and Paddle Bay, you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and a tropical evening ocean breeze. Enjoy a secluded beach adventure that you have never experienced before. Unwind in white sand, turquoise water, and a breathtaking view of the tropical Whitsunday Islands from your tent.

Snorkel and Discover the Inhabitants of the Reef

Remember to bring your snorkelling gear when packing for South Molle Island. As South Molle Island is surrounded by fringing reefs and the ocean is only a stone's throw away from each campsite, what better way to start the day than jumping into the sea straight away? Explore a diverse array of maritime flora and fauna. Swim with parrotfish, observe starfish and explore the colourful corals. With some luck, you’ll spot sea turtles or bottlenose dolphins to give you company on your exploration.

If you want to explore an absolute highlight of the island, stop at Spion Kop Lookout. This stunning viewpoint in the northeast of the island provides a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime panorama of the Whitsunday Islands. Ideal for pure relaxation or your next travel photoshoot.

Walk to Middle Molle Island

Another day, another walk: a small spit connects both islands of South Molle Island and Middle Molle Island for most time of the day. Wait until the tide is right, and walk from one island to the other to explore further. Reaching Middle Molle Island provides a stunning view and a unique experience walking through the crystal-clear ocean.
