Itinerary description

Beautiful Great Keppel Island is located just 20km SE of Yeppoon. Apart from snorkeling and lazing around the beach, there are quite a few great hikes to check out. The Western Beach circuit takes you from the main beach (Fisherman's Beach), past the old resort to Shelving Beach, Monkey Beach then onto Long Beach. All beaches are lined with wonderful white sand and rocky headlands. Shelving and Monkey Beaches are great spots to snorkel out and look at the coral and fish. From Long Bay you can take a track up a ridge, past the old airport and back to your starting point. If its a fine day you will be blown away by the stunning blue sea/ sky and white beaches.
