The island is home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds, seals, and dolphins, making it a haven for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Visitors to Meludjack can explore the island's walking trails, which meander through its diverse terrain, providing opportunities to discover hidden caves and rock formations. The island's beaches are perfect for sunbathing, picnicking, and even swimming during the warmer months, although the sea can be chilly due to its proximity to the Atlantic.
