Half way between Australia and Sri Lanka, in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, rest the Cocos (Keeling) Islands; a collection 27 islets split into two flat, low-lying coral atolls.
North Keeling Island, a solitary uninhabited atoll shaped like a horseshoe enclosing a lagoon, is Australia’s most remote national park. South Keeling Islands, a collection of islets, forms an incomplete ring where empty beaches, world-class diving and tropical weather entice vacationers in search of a tranquil tropical getaway.
