Workation in Flying Fish Cove: the essentials

Many maps simply label it The Settlement. Flying Fish Cove, founded by the British in 1888, is the capital of Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean with about 1,700 residents in total. The town near the northeastern tip has a small harbour, and diving starts right off the beach. Chinese, Malay and European traditions sit side by side, a legacy of the phosphate mine, and each year millions of red crabs migrate to the sea. Much of the island is national park. Christmas Island Airport is about 7 km away. Everything here is small in scale, so expect few services and limited supplies.
