About Whitehaven Beach

Whitehaven Beach is located on the eastern side of Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsunday group. The beach is famous for its 7km stretch of pure white silica sand, which is 98% pure silica — among the purest sand in the world.

At the northern end of the beach, the Hill Inlet lookout offers a breathtaking view of the tide shifting sand and sea in a stunning fusion of colours. The inlet is best viewed from the walking track lookout, a short walk through the national park.

Whitehaven Beach is only accessible by boat, seaplane or helicopter, making it a pristine and uncrowded destination. The beach is part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park and is protected for future generations to enjoy.
