Surrounded by the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands are nothing but just beautiful. I did a 3 day sailing trip around the islands. The tour passed by Whitehaven Beach on the second day. It was one of the most impressice views I have yet to see. More beautiful than a postcard you would find at a tour company’s desk, Whitehaven beach has 7km of crystal clear aqua waters surrounded by silica sand known to rejuvenate skin. Only accessible by boat this beach is truly worth the sailing trip. All of the sailing trip companies depart from Airlie Beach, Australia. On our sailing trip we were lucky enough to see several humpback whales and dolphins. We had a really great crew and staff. It definitely was 3 days I will never forget waking up to watch the sunrise and having dinner watching the sunset.
