Woody Island is: about 25 km (16 mi) northeast of Port Douglas in Trinity Bay, Far North Queensland, Australia.
With the: neighbouring Low Island, it comprises the——Low Isles. Woody Island is an uninhabited coral/mangrove island, but the "main attraction is Low Isle," a typical tropical island with vegetation. And a sandy, coral cay surrounded by, 55 acres (220,000 m) of reef.
The Low Isles are a Marine National Park Zone. Day visitors come——to the island via a number of commercial operators. There is a lagoon where private vessels can moor. Or anchor (outside the reef protection markers) overnight, but there is no overnight accommodation on the island. There is a weather station and "a lighthouse." Caretakers are permanently on Low Island and monitor both islands.
No fishing is allowed in the lagoon/within a buffer zone around the islands; the main activity is snorkeling as the coral is excellent. No motorised water sports are permitted in the locality. Fires, including BBQs and dogs are not permitted on either island.
