The area is surrounded by dense eucalyptus forests and pristine national parks. The coastline has magnificent beaches, such as the peaceful Hanssons Beach and the popular Adventure Bay Beach, which are excellent for swimming, walking, and observing marine life. Dolphins and seals are frequently seen in the water, while on land, rare white wallabies are a major attraction. Gastronomic experiences are complemented by local seafood, fresh oysters, and berries grown on the island.
