Barranyi (North Island) National Park

Barranyi (North Island) National Park occupies North Island, the largest island of the Sir Edward Pellew Islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory, about 30 km north of Borroloola. Jointly managed by Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory and the Yanyuwa Traditional Owners, it protects white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, dunes and woodlands. The park is notable for its remote island wilderness, Aboriginal cultural heritage, camping, fishing and wildlife including marine turtles and dugongs.

Visitors can expect a remote, undeveloped island national park accessible only by private boat. The landscape features long white sandy beaches, rocky headlands, coastal dunes, mangroves and eucalypt woodland. Facilities are basic and centred on designated campgrounds such as Paradice Bay (Warralangku). Visitors can explore walking tracks, beaches and lookouts, swim and snorkel in sheltered bays, fish, boat and observe wildlife and birdlife. Cultural sites of significance to the Yanyuwa people are present across the island.
