Paradise Bay, located at the southern end of Long Island is inaccessible to day visitors and it caters for a maximum of twenty guests only. Please note that as of early 2012, Paradise Bay resort and Peppers Palm Bay resort are in receivership and closed until new operators can be found.

Palm and Happy Bay are the nearest safe anchorages to Shute Harbour and therefore a popular spot for yachties.

Guests can get to Long Island by ferry from Hamilton Island, Shute harbour or Able Point marina in Airlie beach.
