Goold Island National Park celebrates a pristine tropical island in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, where forests spill onto sandy beaches. Dugongs and turtles feed on seagrass beds in shallow waters surrounding the island. The park is significant to Aboriginal people. In the past they built extensive fish traps here. Relax, bush camp and picnic on the western beach and enjoy superb views of nearby Hinchinbrook Island. Walk through eucalypt woodland and return along the beach. Explore patches of rainforest flourishing in rocky gullies, and mangroves next to the shore. Look for colourful fish and starfish. In summer, listen for pied imperial-pigeons that feed here and nest on nearby Brook Island.
