Boisterous Airlie Beach
Airlie Beach is the doorway to the Great Barrier Reef and the islands of the Whitsundays. And as doorways go, it is a very beautiful, peninsula-situated one! Like an older brother calling you ‘chicken’, the entire town seems to be either pushing you to enter the water or to enjoy one more drink amid its vibrant party atmosphere. ... Read more »
Abel Point Marina is your access point to the wonderful water world that is the Great Barrier Reef, but you can also take a scenic flight by seaplane or helicopter to Heart Reef and experience the clear water from the air. Return in the evening and enjoy Airlie Beach’s nightlife. They call this the ‘party town of the Whitsundays’ for a reason, and many a bleary-eyed and sunburned backpacker will tell you that they came for a three-day sailing trip… and ended up spending three months.
AIRLIE BEACH’S TOP 10
| 10. Whitehaven Beach A short boat trip away are the bright white sands of this famous beach. | 5. Goorganga Wetlands Situated close by, the wetlands offer a change from the tropical beaches. |
| 9. Diving the Reef No words can do this justice – you just have to get beneath the water and be blown away. | 4. Airlie Beach Markets Held every Saturday, pick up some local arts and crafts from the makers themselves. |
| 8. Sailing With so many amazing beaches and hidden coves, how will you ever decide where to stop for lunch? | 3. Conway National Park Take a walk through the rainforest and let your cares disappear. |
| 7. Crocodile Safaris Riding on a tractor, cruising down a river on a boat and bush tucker – this is Australia. | 2. Airlie Beach Lagoon A safe place to swim away from the nasty stingers. |
| 6. Boathaven Beach Visit Airlie Beach’s newest addition – here’s a clue: it’s a beach! | 1. Great Barrier Reef It’s the world’s largest reef and it’s ours. To come all this way and not visit it would be downright un-Australian! |
