Whitsunday Shopping Centres
The Whitsundays is a tropical holiday destination, known for attracting travellers from near and afar to experience the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands. The region is teeming with white sandy beaches, luscious waterfalls, exotic coral reefs and 74 tropical islands. From sailing adventures to learning how to scuba dive, the activities are endless. However, if you're chasing a slower paced holiday or seeking something to do when it's raining or too windy for boating, shopping is a great pastime.
The Whitsundays is home to a wide variety of shops, specifically catered towards the constant influx of visitors. From souvenir shops to charming boutiques, nail salons to tattoo parlours, there is something for everyone! The three main shopping hubs in the region include the Whitsunday Shopping Centre, Whitsunday Plaza, Port of Airlie and Airlie Beach’s boulevard.
