Lizard Island
Ultimate guide (August 2023)
Lizard Island is the northernmost island of
Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Tropical beaches, great snorkeling in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, and all of this in a safe civilized country. This is really an outstanding place, though not unique. Shore and seabed: sand, stones.
