Whitehaven Beach

We spent two nights anchored in Nara Inlet because it was well protected by the south east wind. Our first night there, we motored and sailed to Whitehaven Beach. Whitehaven Beach is on Whitsunday Island and it is beautiful. Miles and miles of beautiful fine sand. We anchored up just off the beach and swam in to shore using our flippers. The beach was incredible. We all went for a long walk. That felt really good. The sand is so white and so fine. There is so much space and so few people. We camped at Tongue Bay after our day at Whitehaven. Lots of tour boats stop for a few hours at this beautiful place.

Applying lots and lots of sunscreen was the first order of business every morning.


The radio crackled just as we got to Whitehaven Beach with a message. My daughter Shannon and her fiancee Alan are now officially engaged to be married. That made our day. It's amazing how news can travel around the world.


Whitehaven Beach is a piece of heaven.

The Gang at one end of the endless beach.


What a beautiful place. We had miles of sand untouched that day to walk along. The sand dunes behind were a protected area.
