Christmas Island
CX
A tropical haven where Santa's elves swap their pointy hats for sunscreen and flip flops.
Christmas Island: A land of endless beach parties, where the only thing more abundant than the coconuts is the number of times you'll say "g'day mate".
Christmas Island: A Christmas miracle, where the only thing more magical than the fireworks is the likelihood of spotting a real-life Santa surfing the waves.
The island is famous for the annual red crab migration, where millions of crabs march to the sea.
It was named on Christmas Day in 1643 by Captain William Mynors.
