Adele Island is located off the central Kimberley coast, around 100 km north of Cape Leveque. The island — measuring 2.9 km by 1.6 km with an area of 2.17 km² — and its surrounding extensive sand banks sit atop a shallow-water limestone platform. It is an important site for breeding seabirds, with rookeries of Lesser Frigate Birds (Fregata ariel), Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster), Red-footed Booby (Sula sula) and Masked Booby (Sula dactylatra).
