#3: Shine bright like the #LordHoweIsland Lagoon 💎By @evanfawell

It’s no wonder the iconic and beloved lagoon earned a top spot. Stretching for several kilometers and protected by the world’s southernmost coral reef, it’s one of the most perfect places on Earth to swim, kayak, snorkel, or dive!

Greetings from #LordHoweIsland 🏝️

Embrace the quiet moments and enjoy a true JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) holiday on Lord Howe with no mobile reception and no worries - just bird songs and the sound of the sea ✨

Thanks to @marie_pickard for sharing this Malabar sunrise experience ☀️
#JustParadise #SeeAustralia #FeelNSW

Lover’s Bay is an iconic piece of #LordHoweIsland’s land in the wedding community.

The two Norfolk pines were originally used as channel markers for boats to navigate into the lagoon. Today, they still stand tall adding a historic element to this beautiful spot - dedicated to loved ones for generations 🌲🌲

We look forward to more romantic stories from this little haven! 💐💖
