Dolly Beach is perhaps the most impressive beach on Christmas Island. However getting there would require some effort. The spectacular downhill drive from the central plateau, pass Greta Beach, to Dolly Beach car park needs no further introduction. From the car park, its a wonderful two odd kilometres trek through the coastal rainforest to reach Dolly Beach. This trail to Dolly Beach also boasts of having the longest wooden boardwalk on the island. The three most common varieties of land crabs, the Red, the Blue and the Robber Crabs are commonly seen along this forest trail.

ATTRACTION LILY BEACH Lily Beach is a keyhole beach with cuts into sheer cliff on either side. There is a gazebo with table and chairs - the perfect place for a picnic! There are large trees providing shade and it has a large sandy bottomed rock pool, particularly suited to young children at low tide when it is calm, although big waves can crash through anytime and caution is required. When the seas are up Lily Beach is a spectacular place to watch the waves crashing into the cliffs. A boardwalk along the cliff edge between Lilly Beach and Ethel Beach provides a look at a variety of birds including Brown Boobys and Red Footed Boobys nesting on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. A few blow-holes will add interest to your walk.

Greta beach OAOApproximately 30 minutes drive from Settlement and then a short three minute walk into the beach through rainforest. This beach is a collection point for interesting flotsam and jetsam washed ashore and is home to thousands of tiny hermit crabs. There is a secluded rock pool at the end of the beach suitable for children when it is calm. This is a major site for crab spawning and Turtles nest all year round on this beach.
