Whitehaven Beach
Whitehaven Beach is without a doubt, one of the most sought after locations in Australia. The iconic swirling sands of Hill Inlet create a beautiful backdrop for photos, and the crystal clear turquoise waters lap over 7km of pure white silica sand. However you choose to spend your time here, we can promise you it will become one of your fondest memories while in the Whitsundays.
Hill Inlet
Walk up to Hill Inlet Lookout for some of the greatest views in the Whitsundays and witness the famous swirling sands of Hill Inlet from above. The swirling sands below are created by the ever-changing currents and tides, meaning no two visits will ever be the same.

Learn what it means to furl the sail, hoist the main, and steer upwind on this 47 Woodward designed charter yacht! Or, simply kick back and take it easy... the choice is yours!
