About this site
Coral Gardens sits at Split Solitary Island, part of the Solitary Islands Marine Park off the coast of New South Wales near Coffs Harbour. The Solitary Islands mark a meeting point of tropical and temperate currents, which is why this stretch of coast is known for an unusual mix of coral and cooler-water fish species. Split Solitary itself is a small island split by a channel, with reef fringing its edges.
