Went there in the morning with friends, the view was nice and you can have a picnic with friends/family there. Just beware of the water current and waves as it can be quite strong. There is a pavilion where you can take shelter when raining.
Facing the sea on your left, you can take the boardwalk around 10mins to ethel beach. Along the route you can see boobies resting on the grassy area by the cliff.

Coral covered beach with clear warm water makes this place a paradise. Beautiful beach with scenic views well worth the visit if on Christmas Island, Bring your Camera

A very nice beach. Make sure you spend some time pinic there. You can also wait for the sunset to take some wonderful sunset photo.

This is a great beach! Make sure you wear sandals or water shoes since the rocks/sand are really sharp. The water is warm and the surf is calmer in the inlet. Great views and photo ops and it's even easier to get to than other places on the island. If my Lily white skin (see what I did there?!) could handle the hot sun, I could be here for hours. I'd recommend to pack 100 SPF; it's hot on the island and there's little reprieve at this beach.

I spent many times at Lily, the boardwalk across to Ethel is nice (baby bosuns, or were they boobies? The fluffy white ones!) and the lagoon-like water at Lily is lovely to lie in. Looks like something out of a James Bond movie! And the nearby secret waterhole near the boat ramp is beautiful.

A great beach for a cooling dip in the ocean and great for beginner snorkelling. A boardwalk off to the left leads through nesting areas for the Brown Booby to a lookout with stunning views of the coastline. One of our favourites on this trip.

A very nice beach for a swim, the reefs hold back the waves leaving a crystal clear area to swim in. Truly one of best beaches I've swum in around the world.

For me, Lily Beach is the best beach on Christmas Island.
It’s easily accessible, parking is right next to the beach (although limited), the beach is sheltered on both sides and the surf isn’t too rough.
The beach is full of pebbles, not really sand so take good footwear. There’s a boardwalk on the left of the car park that takes you to a viewing platform and is well worth the short walk.

The drive in has some brilliant close-up views of seabirds in the trees and there's a really nice board walk from the carpark to nearby Ethel Beach which me and my 2-y-o really enjoyed. This the exposed side of te island and neither beach is that flash for swimming with kids, but nonetheless we really enjoyed it.

Great little beach almost hidden away but juts a lovely tiny refuge on an otherwise almost unbroken coastline of tall cliff of weather worn limestone.
