Ninety seconds on Cooper's Island Nature Reserve
A short walk past the last car park leaves the Clearwater crowd behind: Well Bay is often empty, and the tower top is a spring lookout for humpbacks. Carry in your own water and food.
Through the gate the road reaches Long Bay, a sandy stretch where silver shoals of garfish and pompano show under the water, with Well Bay opposite. Both shelve gently for easy swimming.
Before the gate, the Salt Marsh Trail crosses the restored marsh on a boardwalk, where killifish, giant land crabs, herons and egrets feed. Beyond the beaches the path climbs past Fort Hill Bay and Soldier's Bay to the tower, with planes landing at the airport across the water.
From the tower balcony you see almost the whole Atlantic horizon, and posters inside cover the island's history, plants and animals. Bring sunscreen and binoculars.
