Flying Fish Cove

Flying Fish Cove, the capital of Christmas Island, an Australian external territory, offers a unique and secluded experience. Established in 1888, it's known locally as "The Settlement." The town's main draw is its stunning natural beauty, with Flying Fish Cove Beach being a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.

For history buffs, the Gun Emplacement offers panoramic views of the bay. The Catholic Church stands as a notable religious site. Adventure seekers can explore the island's underwater world with Christmas Island Fishing & Adventure, or discover the pristine Dolly Beach and the magical Grotto. For breathtaking vistas, head to Margaret Knoll Lookout. While shopping options are limited, you'll find essential supplies and souvenirs in small local shops and markets. Nightlife is relaxed, with local cafes and eateries offering a taste of island life.
