Swain Reefs National Park

Located off the coast of Queensland, Swain Reefs National Park encompasses nine small coral cays across an area of 0.58 square kilometers.

The national park was first established in 1995 and received additional protection status in 2005 as part of the Great Barrier Reef conservation efforts.

Indigenous communities maintain traditional connections to these waters, where marine resources have sustained their way of life for generations.

The remoteness of Swain Reefs National Park requires careful planning, with access primarily available through specialized marine tour operators.

The cays within the park support over 25,000 roseate terns, representing more than one percent of the global breeding population.
