Like Sandy Beaches? Try K'gari.

Australia is an island in itself, but one of the best ways to experience the country is to visit some islands off the coast. K'gari is the world's largest sand island. Although the ocean is too rough for swimming, the inland lakes are what make K'gari special. It's also close to the Great Barrier Reef, so diving to see the underwater world is a must on this World Heritage Site island. You'll find eucalyptus forests, wildlife, and a beautiful place to relax when you spend time in this destination. Combining the romance of K'gari with more of Australia could be a fantastic way to spend a honeymoon. Dingoes on K'gari - these are wild animals and have been known to attack and kill humans.
