About this site
Flying Fish Cove sits on the northern coast of Christmas Island, an Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean, and serves as the island's main settlement and harbour area. The cove's steep drop-off close to shore reflects the island's volcanic, oceanic origins, with deep water beginning not far from the beach.
