Airlie Beach
While not a Great Barrier Reef island Airlie Beach is the mainland gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and it offers a variety of full day activities on the water and is also the departure point for all of the overnight sailing adventures. It has a laid back backpacker vibe with a main street filled with boutiques, cafes and shops, and night spots. Enjoy relaxing by the Airlie Beach lagoon or visit the Saturday morning markets for a taste of local arts and crafts, fresh fruit and vegetables and much more. Finish your day with a romantic dinner for two at one of the alfresco restaurants, which offer fresh local seafood and produce.
