Keppel Rocks Reef (near Curtis Island)

Keppel Rocks Reef lies off the pristine coast of Curtis Island in the Southern Great Barrier Reef, a largely untouched marine environment where coral bommies rise from sandy seabeds. This reef system features a mix of shallow coral gardens and deeper channels, offering snorkelers the chance to explore vibrant hard and soft coral formations in clear subtropical waters. Being part of the Keppel Bay islands group, the reef benefits from the protection of surrounding headlands, creating calm conditions ideal for snorkelling when the weather cooperates. The remote location means fewer crowds and a more authentic reef experience.
