Many Australians might not have even heard of the Cocos Keeling Islands, but these islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Western Australia, have a lot to offer. With two atolls and 27 coral islands, aquatic adventurers will be in their element with spectacular snorkelling, world-class diving, excellent fishing and kitesurfing. It’s not all action stations, with the empty beaches an alluring place to relax. Catch the ferry to Home Island – one of only two inhabited islands – and learn about the culture of the Cocos Malay people, or visit Cossies Beach on Direction Island, a beach named as the best in Australia by Tourism Australia’s Aquatic and Coastal Ambassador, Brad Farmer.
