When someone says Australia what do you think of? The Great Barrier Reef? Beaches? We think of Whitehaven beach on Whitsunday Island. The pristine white sand, like flour crunching under your toes with every footstep you take. The clear blue water rippling as you see small fish swimming by. Whitehaven Beach is a paradise. The first look you get of the area as you walk up the Hill Inlet to the look out point is a sight you will remember forever.
This collection of islands called the Whitsundays offer sheltered sailing conditions and access to the Great Barrier Reef.
