It is around 620 hectares or 6.2 square km in size. The Low Islets are a Marine National Park Zone. Day visitors come to the island via a number of commercial operators. There is a lagoon where private vessels can moor or anchor overnight, but there is no overnight accommodation on the island. There is a weather station, a lighthouse and the University of Queensland have a research station. No fishing is allowed in the lagoon or within a buffer zone around the islands; the main activity is snorkeling and diving as the coral is excellent.
