Pumpkin Island, Pumpkin Island

As Australia’s best-kept island secret off the Capricorn Coast, a holiday on Pumpkin Island offers an adventure for those looking to escape the stresses of modern day life. With charter boats operating from the Yeppoon Marina, Pumpkin Island nestled in the Keppel Group of islands, offers an easily accessible island getaway. The island is 6.1 hectares of peaceful bliss! Pumpkin Island is what you make of it. The wildlife will delight you both on the island and in the sea. Expect to see dolphins and turtles. The water has that beautiful crystal clear aqua colour, perfect for safe swimming and snorkelling most of the year round.

You will see a wide variety of colourful fish and other sea creatures and plant life just off the beach, making it perfect for children. There is also a coral reef for the more experienced snorkeller or for diving and the fishing is excellent especially if you fancy calamari for dinner. You’ll never run out of things to do. Or, maybe you would like to simply sit on your verandah taking in the whispering palms and the waves lapping on the beach right in front of you. This is a holiday of total relaxation, everything at your own pace – do as much or as little as you like.

The accommodation is simple but comfortable and with only five cabins on the island privacy and relaxation can be assured of. Pumpkin Island is definitely back to nature for a castaway holiday.

Pristine wilderness without a single footprint in sight, the sparkle of cosmopolitan high rise on the waters edge, the adrenalin pumping roar of a powerful surf beach, or quite simply the perfect white squeaky sand that squelches between your toes.
