Whitehaven beach is reached only by boat. There is no accommodation so if you dont have accommodation on a boat you can only day trip - no campers. This is what probably makes it s beautiful - no sign of habitation. Everything you take on the beach has to be taken off. The excursion boats leave from Shute Harbour or... more

I love my beaches and have been to many of the beaches that appear in the top in the world but this Whitehaven beach is definately the best that I have ever seen. It is total paradise - the stuff of dreams - and I didnt want to leave. I cant explain how blue and clear the water is, and... more

This beach is unbelievably beautiful. The water is clear and pristine...an amazing turquoise color. Pictures do not do it justice. The sand is soft and white and almost as fine as powder. We took a day tour with Fantasea, sailing out of Hamilton Island in November of 2007. It takes about 30 minutes or so to sail from Hamilton Island... more

This is the beach you have dreamt about. Perfect silica sand that stretches on for miles, beautiful crystal blue water and large enough that it is does not seem crowded. We did a day sail to Whitehaven from Long Island and spent a few hours at the beach. Wish we could have stayed longer. A Must Visit! more

This is one of the best beaches I have ever been to. The water is crystal clear and the sand is so soft, you just want to cover yourself in it, even as an adult more

Whitehaven beach is possibly the world's perfect beach. Pure white sand, fine and smooth to the touch. Brilliant azure water, which is warm yet cools you off from the hot Queensland sun and all of this looksout on nearby lush green islands. The best part of Whitehaven is the seclusion. During the day a steady stream of tour boats comes... more
