Hamilton Island Daily Activity GuideWhitehaven Beach & Whitsunday Islands Tours & Cruises

Whitehaven Beach - The best beach in the world!

Imagine a beach with sand so pure and white, it’s 98% pure silica. Now picture that pristine beach stretching for seven empty kilometres, gently lapped by rippling waves in 100 shades of turquoise and aquamarine.

You don’t have to imagine visiting Whitehaven Beach and taking a walk along that powder-fine sand. From Hamilton Island you can visit heaven on earth on a cruise, sail your own boat, or fly there by seaplane or helicopter.

Regularly voted one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Whitehaven Beach is on the east coast of uninhabited Whitsunday Island, an easy day trip from Hamilton Island.

Queensland's magnificant Whitsunday Islands

Dotted with 74 islands, only eight of them inhabited, the Whitsundays is one of the most picturesque sailing destinations on earth. Bordering the Great Barrier Reef, one of the world’s seven natural wonders, the Whitsunday Islands’ luxury resorts and secluded sandy coves are visited by migrating whales and fringed by coral reefs for world-class diving and snorkelling.

Whether you join a day cruise, take a scenic flight or sail your own yacht from island to island, don’t miss the opportunity to experience this idyllic and utterly magical part of the world.
