Description

Hope Islands National Park consists of a pair of low-lying coral cays. West Hope is a shingle cay dominated by hardy mangroves, and East Hope is a typical sandy cay with trees such as beach almond and red coondoo. An important nesting site for pied imperial-pigeons, these islands are significant sea country of the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people. Relax and enjoy the natural beauty. Bush camp at one of four campsites on East Hope Island. Watch the birdlife along the shore. Go snorkelling or diving to discover amazing reef life. Make use of public moorings and throw in a fishing line.
