A must-do day trip. The island is only 20 mins by ferry and the ferry terminal is less than 10 mins from our place. When you arrive hop on a bus to check out the bays. The beaches are beautiful, there are watersports and dining options at Horseshoe (the busiest of all the bays), the pubs at Arcadia and Picnic have great food and views too.
The Forts walk is where you might spot a koala - Maggie has the largest population of koalas in the wild!
