Michaelmas Cay

Part of Australia’s UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef, Michaelmas Cay is a sandy island located in the Cairns & the Tropical North region. Now designated as a bird sanctuary and national park, the cay serves as a vital nesting site for thousands of seabirds, including common noddies and sooty terns. The offshore coral reefs surrounding the island are home to a variety of marine life, such as leopard sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles. Visitors can explore the island’s natural beauty and observe the diverse wildlife, both on land and in the surrounding waters.
