New to Trade - Cape Keppel Beach - new island stay on the Southern Great Barrier Reef

Cape Keppel Beach is a rare find — a place where the Queensland outback collides with coastal calm.

Located on the northern tip of Curtis Island, guests are greeted by bushland and dirt tracks before reaching their self-contained beachfront cottages, just steps from white sand and blue water.

Curtis Island is Queensland’s third largest continental island and home to one of the state’s most important flatback turtle rookeries.

Accessible by boat or scenic flight from Rockhampton, Cape Keppel Beach invites guests to unplug, unwind, and immerse themselves in the ultimate bush-meets-beach island experience.
