🌴 Escape to an island paradise 🌴

30 minutes off the coast of Yeppoon, near Rockhampton, lies an island relatively unknown in most regions of Australia. Great Keppel Island was known as a party haven back in the 80s, but all that changed when the resort was shut down. Nowadays there is only 2 or so places for you to stay and as a result you will pretty much have this island to yourself. Spend a few days exploring the 16 pristine, white-sand beaches, snorkeling on the reef, swimming with turtles, fishing at sunset with dolphins or saying hi to the local wildlife on land. Make sure to have cocktails at sunset at the beachfront pub, or better yet, bring a bottle of wine, wiggle your toes in the sand and watch the sun dip over the horizon from the beach. #beachlife
