If you’re seeking to connect with nature and escape the bustle of the South Coast, then head to Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary. The island’s largest remaining mangrove wetlands – though still fairly small – reopened in 2025 after being closed to the public for 16 years.

Meander through the mangrove forest, on the look out for crabs and terrapins, and gaze out across thelake – in the winter months you may catch sight of a majestic osprey or other migrants – over 200 species have been recorded here. The photogenic egret colony is a permanent fixture.

Two large aviaries packed with parrots (such as the sun parakeet, pictured above) are highlights for most visitors – you can buy feed and have them eat out of your hand. There is also a serpentarium and a short film.
