This area is famous for its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and distinctive orange-hued granite rocks along the shoreline. While exploring the Bay of Fires, keep an eye out for what may look like a koala bear. However, don’t get too excited—it’s not a real koala but rather a rock formation that resembles one.
