🇦🇺Whitsunday Island | Iconic movie-like spots 🎥 🏝️

The Whitsundays are all about turquoise waters, white sand, and island tranquility — and nowhere captures it better than Whitsunday Island itself. If you’re doing a day trip or beach drop-off, these three stops at the northern end of the island offer a perfect mix of iconic views, peaceful beaches, and hidden natural corners. Pack light, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and get ready to explore some of the most breathtaking spots in Queensland. 1. Hill Inlet Lookout ⛰️👀 This is the signature Whitsundays view, where pure white silica sand swirls with aqua water in a stunning tidal pattern. Access it via a short uphill bushwalk from Tongue Bay. Best seen at mid to low tide, this lookout is a must for photographers and nature lovers alike. Bring water, a camera, and reef-safe sunscreen for the hike. 2. Betty’s Beach ☀️⛱️ Tucked at the northern end of Whitehaven Beach near Hill Inlet, this quiet and pristine spot offers soft sand, clear shallows, and fewer crowds. Perfect for a peaceful swim or beach picnic, it’s easily reached on foot from the lookout track or by tender from your boat. Stingrays and small reef fish are often spotted near the shoreline. 3. Southern Whitehaven Beach ⛺️ The southern end of Whitehaven Beach is wide, open, and perfect for swimming, relaxing, or a long walk along the famous seven-kilometre stretch of pure silica sand. It’s also where most boats drop anchor, making it a popular spot with excellent access to facilities like composting toilets and a national park campsite. The views are uninterrupted, and the sand squeaks underfoot — exactly how Whitehaven should feel. #cityplaybook
