The Whitsundays are a cluster of islands off the central coast of Queensland, Australia in the heart of the Coral Sea. Sheltered by the Great Barrier Reef, these islands offer peaceful, blue waters and immaculate white sandy beaches. The crown jewel, Whitehaven Beach is widely regarded as the best in the world with its 98% silica sand, fine enough to polish jewellery. Beneath the tranquil ocean lies endless amounts of coral reef and vibrantly coloured tropical fish, but on land, you will find secluded bays, hillside forests and lively towns. They even boast some luxurious resorts suitable for families and couples, as well as budget accommodation tailored for backpackers. The Whitsundays offer an extensive ferry network with multiple routes back to Airlie Beach, the coastal hub for the islands. You can also sail to Shute Harbour on the mainland, which is further south, from Daydream and Hamilton Island.
