Beaches and shores
Whitehaven Beach is located on Whitsunday Island in Queensland, Australia. It is famous for its crystal clear white sand and turquoise water. Visitors can arrive by boat, seaplane or helicopter from Airlie Beach or Hamilton Island. Barbecue and camping facilities are available on the beach, and camping must be booked in advance. The sand at Whitehaven Beach contains 98% pure silica, which is fine and difficult to retain heat, so you can walk barefoot on the beach even in midsummer. Dogs and smoking are prohibited on the beach to maintain its environmental friendliness. It has been rated as the cleanest beach in Queensland. The Beach Swim is a 2-kilometer open water competition that has been held at the beach every November since 2009 and is also part of the Hamilton Island Triathlon. In 2018, the local government invested in improving walking trails and camping areas to enhance the visitor experience. The unique sand quality and beautiful scenery of the beach attract many tourists and locals to swim and sightsee.
