Claremont Isles National Park

The Claremont Isles National Park contains three main islands, Fife, Pelican, and Burkitt, surrounded by coral reefs and extensive offshore seagrass beds.

The Queensland Department of Environment and Science established this protected area in 1989 to preserve its natural ecosystems and marine habitats.

Indigenous Australian communities maintain deep connections to these lands, integrating the islands into their traditions through generations.

Access to the national park requires careful planning and boat transportation, as the islands remain closed to maintain their natural environment.

Burkitt Island functions as a primary breeding ground for pied imperial pigeons, while Fife Island hosts populations of wedge-tailed shearwaters.
