The most beautiful beach in the world, breathtaking! I went with a guided tour by Ocean Rafting Adventure. First, you reach Hill Inlet, where you can enjoy three different amazing views of the beaches. Then, you go on the beaches, have lunch, and have a swim. We even saw a manta ray and a little shark a couple of meters away from the shore! Later, you reach two snorkeling points on the barrier reef, where you can enjoy hundreds of different types of fishes and corals!

Long, white silica sand beach set amidst the Whitsundays. A wonderful place to visit after the Hill inlet lookout trip. It can get busy, but walking a few hundred metres down the beach escapes the crowds and incoming tenders. A most enjoyable beach and highly recommended.

The perfect beach. I have never seen anything like it. We even saw mantas and small sharks. The sand was so fine and soft like i have never felt on any beach before. Sadly we only stayed for about an hour before our boat went back. It is probably worth a day trip.

A bit costly to get to the island ($150 pp if you go as a half day tour and you only get to stay abount 2hours in the island). Getting to the island was very rough and highly recommend to take some sea sick tablets before you head off. However, the island itself is worth the visit. Such a beautiful and untouched place to chill.
