People from all around the world make Whitehaven Beach a must-see destination when they come to Australia. This unique beach located at Whitsunday Island is famous for its bright white sands, clear waters, and magnificent views from Hill Inlet Lookout.

There are no resorts on Whitehaven Beach and spending the night there is only possible in some camping areas. One of the most magical adventures you can have in the Whitsundays is to spend the night aboard a private vessel next to the beach and wake up before the first ferries from Airlie Beach arrive.
