Most boat tours will take guests to the north end for the amazing lookout, but also include some beach time here. For more information on the difference between north and south Whitehaven beach, click here. The other end of Whitehaven is the 7 km long white strip where many marathons and the occasional long table dinner are held. Seaplanes commonly land here as there is plenty of room, and weddings and proposals are very popular on this part of Whitehaven.
It is so spread out, that there is plenty of room for everyone to have their own little section of the sandy wonder. Boats anchoring here overnight are in for a treat come morning, as the bottom of the ocean here is largely covered with seagrass, meaning-Yep, you guessed it- Sea Turtles! Chance Bay is located on the south-east part of Whitsunday Island, and there is a walking track from the south end of Whitehaven Beach to this pristine cove.
There is some beautiful fringing coral here, so grab your snorkel gear if you are walking over here to have a look! There is also a small campsite, and you can access this area by boat with certain tides, or by doing the roughly 3 km hike from south Whitehaven. Picnic tables and outhouse toilets top this off as a sought after site.
This was also said to be a perfect spot for fishing, and the Ngaro had some very inventive ways of building trenches in accordance with the tides to catch them. Talk about having Whitehaven to yourself! There are striking coloured volcanic rock formations, bursting with colours of violet and indigo, making another stunning contrast against the white sand and turquoise water, perfect for the avid photographer.
Having 74 islands in the Whitsundays, there are plenty of them surrounding Whitsunday Island and Whitehaven Beach, and most tour operators can point these out to you while underway on the boat or from the beach. There are other bays and beaches on neighbouring islands and on other parts of Whitsunday Island that are only accessible by boat, so you're better off accessing these by private charter as most tours don't frequently visit these other spots.
Whitehaven ticks a lot of boxes for all-around Australian experiences, as there is plenty to see other than the sand and water. There are several bushwalks through the lush, tropical rainforest that makes up most of Whitsunday Island.
Here you are transported to another world under an emerald canopy, where you can meet many of the local residents of the island. Weaving through hoop pines, cedar trees, voluptuous ferns and climbing vines searching for sunlight, you will lose yourself in this tropical paradise.
There is no natural water source on the island, so the forest relies on rainfall in the wet season. Take your time and keep your eyes peeled for golden orb spiders hanging above, along with green ant nests. Green ants have a unique way of building their nests, as they use their saliva to create a glue on the edge of several leaves, and working together as a team fold the pieces together to look like a rugby ball.
Sea eagles will be spotted circling the skies, and nesting on high rock formations on the islands. Down on sea level on the island, mangroves dot the shoreline, creating its own entire ecosystem. Here juvenile fish and crabs can avoid larger prey, and feed on the smaller animals in the sediment.
In the protection of Hill Inlet , you will find baby lemon sharks , stingrays , and even mud crabs. Soldier crabs also grace the sandy beach, creating thousands of small balls of sand as they burrow in the soft white silica. While there is no fringing reef or seagrass off the shores of Whitehaven Beach, you can still spot sea turtles cruising the coast looking for a yummy jellyfish to eat, and diamondback mullet are also often spotted around rocks.
Technically, stinger season is during the summer months, from October to May, however, they can be present year-round. These incredible creatures can be quite beautiful to behold as they dance and drift lazily with the tide, and there are over types found in the Great Barrier Reef National Marine Park. The two to watch out for are the box jellyfish and Irukandji jellyfish, as these can be potentially harmful. Please respect our natural wonder and help us to keep this beach and the surrounding waters in pristine condition.
