Lord Howe Island has been settled since the mid-1800’s and today supports a permanent population of around 350. The small human population and limited visitor numbers have ensured that marine resources are sustainable, so swimming and snorkelling with a myriad of colourful fish are the norm. Immerse yourself in the spectacular surroundings and experience some of the world’s best day hikes, snorkelling on the coral reef, hand-feeding fish on Ned’s Beach and much more. The surrounding waters are a protected region designated the Lord Howe Island Marine Park. The Lord Howe Island Act 1981 established a "Permanent Park Preserve" (covering about 70% of the island). Lord Howe Marine Park is extraordinary in every way. The convergence of the warm and cool ocean currents create an extraordinary mix of colourful tropical and temperate marine life. Lord Howe Island Marine Park is approximately 600 km off the NSW north coast and 700 km north-east of Sydney. The island was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 21 May 2007 and the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. Lord Howe Island Marine Park (LHIMP) is internationally significant, with the world's southern-most true coral reef and the only fringing coral reef lagoon in NSW. Welcome to Lord Howe Lord Howe Island is Just Paradise. This marine park includes Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs, the southernmost coral reefs in the world, and is home to rare and gentle black cod. Towering undersea mountains (part of the Lord Howe Seamount Chain) are as steep, dramatic and bursting with life as the iconic mountains above.
