Heart Reef, Australia

Now, while it may be tempting to go ahead and explore the heart-shaped island of Heart Reef, located on the captivating and mystical Great Barrier Reef in Australia, you'd be getting yourself in quite a bit of trouble if you did so. The place has been barred from all visitors by the Australian government, which is doing its best to preserve the reef and keep it from harm and degradation.

So, as sad as it is, you'll probably have to pay for a helicopter ride if you want to check out this romantic reef. Sorry, this one's an aerial-only affair.
