No Name (Snorkel Site)

No Name Reef (also known as '35 Miles') is a lesser-known outer reef site on the Great Barrier Reef, sitting roughly 35 nautical miles off the Queensland coast. This ribbon reef features a dramatic drop-off where the shallow reef flat (1–2 m) steps down to a sandy seabed at 6–8 m, with vibrant fluorescent-blue branching corals, giant clams, and overhangs teeming with fish. It is a quiet, uncrowded alternative to the busier Norman and Agincourt reefs, offering pristine coral gardens and excellent visibility in the warm Coral Sea waters. Snorkelers enter from a moored boat or floating platform, exploring the sheltered inner reef slope away from the ocean swell.
