The vegetation is denser than on Bird, and with its wild and romantic ambience, Denis Island is an ideal candidate for honeymoons and honeymooners. It is shielded on the south and east sides by a protective coral reef, which creates ideal conditions for snorkellers. A lighthouse - along with some historic buildings - still remains from the days of the coconut palm plantation.
