Langford Island
A small island where a white, crescent-shaped sandbar emerges at low tide. The reefs around it are good for snorkelling, where you often see sea turtles, and it's a common stop on day cruises.
Langford Island lies south of Hayman Island. At low tide, a sandbar stretches from the island out into the sea, with shallow turquoise water on both sides. The rocky reef around the island is good for snorkelling, where you'll often see green sea turtles, parrotfish and corals. There is a short walking trail to a lookout at the island's summit. You can only reach it by day cruise or charter boat, and whether the boat stops depends on the tide that day. From November to May is stinger season, so wear protective swimwear when swimming.
