Red Island


Red Island is just across the waters from the end of Seisia wharf.

And if you have a boat it is super easy to visit.



Just take off from the Seisia boat ramp and you are there within minutes,


... and needless to say, you don't need more than a tinny.

Late in the year the waters are calm, but the breeze can also pick up quickly.

Once across you can pull up almost anywhere, like on this southern beach,

getting to red island

... and enjoy the views towards Loyalty Beach,

... and towards Seisia (you can see on the photo below just how close the wharf is).

On the island, you can also see some history,

... as the area has been through gold rushes, Second World War and finally the settlement by Saibai islanders in the mid 1950s.
