Cocos Islands, also known as Keeling Islands, are a remote group of 27 coral islands located in the Indian Ocean, approximately halfway between Sri Lanka and Australia. Although they are in the middle of the ocean, the islands are a territory of Australia, and Australia governs its 600 residents.
The islands are famous for their pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and spectacular coral reefs, which are home to a diverse range of marine life, including sea turtles, sharks, and tropical fish. Travellers can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, and other water sports in the warm, clear waters of the lagoon or explore the islands’ lush rainforests and coconut plantations.
With its stunning natural beauty, friendly local community, and rich cultural heritage, the islands are a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly exotic and off-the-beaten-path vacation.
