Discover Flying Fish Cove
Photos, information and travel guides for your stay.
Flying Fish Cove is the capital city and main settlement of Christmas Island. Although it was originally named after the British survey-ship Flying Fish, many maps simply label it "The Settlement". It was the first British settlement on the island, established in 1888.
Nestled on the northern coast of the island, Flying Fish Cove is a small but vibrant community that offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and diverse culture. The cove itself is a picturesque bay that boasts crystal clear waters and a coral reef teeming with marine life. Whether you're an avid snorkeler or simply looking to soak up some sun on the beach, Flying Fish Cove has something for everyone.
In addition to its stunning natural features, Flying Fish Cove is also home to several cultural landmarks that reflect the island's fascinating history. One such site is the Christmas Island National Park, which encompasses over half of the island's landmass and is home to a variety of endemic flora and fauna, including the Christmas Island red crab. You can also visit the island's former phosphate mines, which played a significant role in the island's economy for over a century.
