Truly the most amazing stretch of white sand and clear, clean water.
Whitehaven Beach
How do you describe to someone the finest, whitest, purest sand that feels like powder through your toes? How do you conjure up an image of the most exquisite bay, coated in flawless water and umpteen shades of pale blue?
Whitehaven Beach is known all over the world for its unwavering beauty. Float dreamily over seven kilometres of silica sand beach, swim with the fish, lie in the diamond-studded sunshine and watch the boats bob cheerfully at anchor. A seamless blue sky stretches above you and you are totally seduced by the beach’s beauty.
Whitehaven can be experienced in several ways. Ferries and luxury cruising yachts depart from Airlie Beach daily. A variety of sailing companies also offer multi-day charters that include a memorable visit to Whitehaven Beach in addition to stops to the outer Great Barrier Reef. Seaplanes and helicopters also visit the area offering stunning views from the sky.
Getting there:
Tours to Whitehaven Beach can be taken from Airlie Beach or several of the Whitsunday islands. Airlie Beach is located 1115km north of Brisbane and accessed by air, rail and road.

We have just returned from a return helicopter flight to Whitehaven Beach. The flight could only be beaten by the champagne picnic lunch on the beach. The sand was white, the sea was crystal clear and the atmosphere was amazing. Would recommend this experience to any tourist within Queensland, Australia or from overseas. It is a definite must do for all!!!!
