Geography

The Whitsunday Islands lie midway along Australia's Queensland coast and are bordered by the Great Barrier Reef and the waters of the Coral Sea. Migrating humpback whales favour the waters around the Whitsunday Islands as a calving ground between May and September each year. Marine stingers are found in the waters of the islands between October and May. The beach has camping and picnic facilities in its foredunes. A walking track links to Chance Bay.

Access

Access is by private or commercial boat from Airlie Beach or Shute Harbour.
