Imagine walking on the softest, whitest sand you’ve ever seen – that’s Whitehaven Beach! Located in the heart of Queensland’s Whitsunday Islands, this stunning 7-kilometer stretch of pristine coastline is often called Australia’s most beautiful beach. The sand here is 98% pure silica, which gives it that amazing white color and keeps it cool even on the hottest days.
If you plan to include Whitehaven Beach in your Australia Tour Packages, get ready to mesmerize your soul. The crystal-clear waters change color throughout the day and create a stunning mix of blues and greens that look like an artist’s masterpiece. The best view is from Hill Inlet lookout, where you can see the swirling patterns of sand and water that make this beach famous worldwide. This piece of paradise has won multiple awards and is protected as part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park.
The beach is open 24/7, all year round. There’s no entry fee, but you’ll need to pay for boat transport to reach the island.
