Straddie (to the locals) is known for some of the most spectacular scenery found anywhere in Australia. Picture rugged coastal landscapes and white sandy beaches that appear to stretch on forever. Three little townships on the island provide a relaxed village atmosphere with a variety of cafés and restaurants often filled with locals, surfers and sun-baked tourists. Go whale watching from a number of vantage points or try some of the best scuba diving in the world from Point Lookout.
