Travelers always seem to be on the lookout for the next secret tropical paradise. Halfway between Australia and Sri Lanka, you’ll find just this. Here are the top reasons you should visit.
It Is Home to Australia’s Best Beach
We are not even exaggeration. Cossies Beach on Direction Island was declared Australia’s Best Beach by “101 Beach Beaches” in 2017. The waters are stunningly clear and almost two centuries ago, Charles Darwin described the beach as “heavenly.”
It’s Perfect For Diving
Diving is extremely popular on the islands. Expect to encounter manta rays, turtles, dolphins, and reef sharks. The Coco Dive team will take you 20 meters under for an incredible underwater experience.
The Snorkeling Is Great Too
If you haven’t got your license yet or the idea of deep sea diving makes your heart beat uncomfortably fast, you can enjoy snorkeling on the islands too. Snorkeling gear is readily available to rent and you will see beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish too.
The Food
Malay food is notoriously delicious and this is what you’ll find on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Here, you can indulge in delicious coffee and nasi goreng.
It’s Paradise For Golfers
If you golf, then definitely bump the Cocos (Keeling) Islands to the top of your bucket list. Here, you will find the world’s only golf course located on an international runway. Watch the planes as you pot balls and meet other passionate golfers.
