Whitsunday Island, Whitehaven beach, Queensland

Can you think of a better way to welcome back summer than exploring one of the country’s most stunning beaches? Yes, today we visit Whitehaven beach - a Queensland beauty covered with some of the purest white silica sand in the world. Found on Whitsunday Island - the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays region – the beach is spread over seven kilometres. That gives tourists and visitors plenty of space to indulge in a wide range of activities. Some will swim, while others snorkel, take a hike through the forest or laze about on the sand with a good book. We sure know where we’d rather be right now. Welcome back, summer, we missed you.
