Coral Gardens Split Solitary Island

Situated in the northwestern corner of Coffs Harbour, this area features a generally flatter bottom compared to other sites. Here, you will find kelp beds and abundant plate coral growing just a few meters apart. The underwater landscape is formed by a series of bays separated by rocky headlands, located in water depths of 10 to 15 meters. These bays are covered with corals, while the headlands are home to various invertebrate life. In deeper waters, around 18 meters, there are kelp beds that often attract turtles, which are frequently spotted in this part of Coffs Harbour.
