Where to Go - Bay Islands : Karragarra Island
.jpg)
Karragarra is the smallest of the Bay Islands, measuring about half a kilometre wide and four kilometres long with a population of under 100 people. Karragarra was once called "Rabbit Island" (around1884). Historically, small farms were an important industry on the island. The island offers a sandy beach with netted swimming enclosure, electric and wood barbeques, picnic tables and shady trees, which are all very close to the jetty. There are no shops on the island, so make sure you bring a picnic.
Everything is within easy walking distance and the landscape of grey-green eucalypt forest, red soil and blue water are continually changing.
Visitors can enjoy a short rainforest walk on the north-eastern end of the island, or a stroll along the esplanade connecting to East Road. You can also take a leisurely stroll down Sunset Strip and Treasure Island Avenue.
