If ever there was the perfect beach for contemplation, this is it. After pondering the past in the historic cemetery which lends this beach its name, head over the dunes and lose yourself in a world of clear rock pools and shallows.

Cemetery Beach is a favourite with local dog owners who pop down after work to let their pooches run free on this 400-metre stretch of sand. After watching the antics of our island hounds, you’ll find it hard to imagine any creature happier than a Norfolk Island sea dog. 

If Cemetery Beach’s waves make it too rough for swimming, it’s just a short stroll to the tranquil waters of Emily Bay Lagoon.
