West Island is the largest of the Cocos Keeling Islands and also the place where most resort tourists spend their time. All around its western shore, scuba divers are treated at some of the best dive sites of the Keeling Islands. Flutemouths, trigger- and Napoleon fish are waiting on top of beautiful patches of leather and tree corals. You can rent a kayak or take a motorized canoe tour to explore the southern lagoon. During low tide, you can take a reef walk to Pulu Maraya (Pulu Maria) or rent a bicycle to explore the rest of this flat island. Plenty of places to relax as well; visit Trannies Beach, North Point's sandy beach or enjoy the ocean life near the Yacht Club. Between July and October, the Yacht club is a popular place for windsurfers and kite surfers because of the strong and continuously trade winds.
