BEST OF THE BEST BEACH
A STUNNING ADSTRACT SCENE OF WHITE AND TURQUOISE
Previously voted the World's Best Beach, Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays, Queensland, stands out as one of the most remote and unspoiled beaches in the world. Stretching over 7 km, this beach is renowned for its incredibly fine sand, which consists of 98.9% pure silica and squeaks under your bare feet. The vivid turquoise waters contrast sharply with the snow-white sand, creating a stunning, almost abstract scene that leaves everyone who visits speechless. Situated in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef and accessible only by boat, seaplane, or helicopter, Whitehaven Beach remains completely secluded and utterly pristine. The pure beauty of the colors and its untouched nature ensure Whitehaven retains its status as one of The Best of The Best.

THE PERFECT DAY AT Whitehaven beach
The best time to visit Whitehaven Beach and the Whitsundays is during spring, which is from September through November. During this time, the temperatures are comfortable, and the weather is generally dry. This is also the peak season for incredible sailing experiences in the area, with the added bonus of spotting some humpback whales. We recommend an overnight sailing tour, so you have ample time to explore and witness the colors of the area change throughout the day. However, it is worth mentioning that December has the Christmas Holiday, which brings more crowds to the area.
