Double Island (off Ellis Beach) offers dramatic coastal seascapes: twin islets, reef edges, tidal sandbars and turquoise water framed by rainforest headlands. Best at sunrise or late afternoon golden hour; low tide reveals sculpted sand and channels. Access is by small boat or charter from Ellis Beach/Palm Cove; park at the Ellis Beach carpark. Visit dry season (May–Oct) for clearer skies. Respect local Indigenous country and any private-resort areas.
