Woody Island is about 25km (16miles) northeast of Port Douglas in Trinity Bay, Far North Queensland, Australia.[1]
With the neighbouring Low Island, it comprises the Low Isles. Woody Island is an uninhabited coral/mangrove island, but the main attraction is Low Isle, a typical tropical island with vegetation and a sandy, coral cay surrounded by 55acres of reef.
The Low Isles are a Marine National Park Zone. Day visitors come to the island via a number of commercial operators. There is a lagoon where private vessels can moor or anchor (outside the reef protection markers) overnight, but there is no overnight accommodation on the island. There is a weather station and a lighthouse. Caretakers are permanently on Low Island and monitor both islands.
No fishing is allowed in the lagoon or within a buffer zone around the islands; the main activity is snorkeling as the coral is excellent. No motorised water sports are permitted in the locality. Fires, including BBQs and dogs are not permitted on either island.
