What to see in Willis Island

Willis Island, nestled in the Coral Sea, is a remote coral cay serving as a vital meteorological station. Uninhabited save for meteorological staff, it offers a peek into the pristine yet rugged ecosystem of Australia's tropical waters, highlighting the intersection of scientific research and natural beauty.

Willis Island is primarily known as a meteorological station operated by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Visitors have the rare chance to learn about the essential role the island plays in monitoring weather patterns, particularly in the tropical waters of the Coral Sea. Meteorological staff stationed on Willis Island conduct observations, collect data and analyse weather patterns to provide accurate forecasts and warnings to mariners, aviators and communities in the region. Visitors can observe firsthand the various instruments and equipment used for measuring temperature, humidity, wind speed and atmospheric pressure.

Despite its small size, Willis Island is home to a variety of bird species and marine life, making it a haven for birdwatching and wildlife observation enthusiasts. The island's secluded location and pristine environment attract migratory seabirds, shorebirds and marine species seeking refuge in the Coral Sea. Visitors can observe seabirds such as terns, boobies and frigatebirds soaring overhead or nesting along the shoreline. Binoculars are essential for spotting these avian inhabitants, especially during breeding season when the island comes alive with the sights and sounds of nesting seabirds.

For photography enthusiasts, Willis Island offers a wealth of opportunities to capture stunning landscapes, seascapes and wildlife encounters. The island's pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and dramatic skies provide an ideal backdrop for capturing the beauty of the Coral Sea. Sunrise and sunset are particularly magical times to photograph the island, with the changing light creating breathtaking hues of pink, orange and gold reflecting off the water and surrounding clouds. Visitors can capture stunning panoramic views of the island's coastline, lagoon and surrounding reefs from various vantage points.
