Whitehaven Beach, Australia

This gorgeous area is located (of course) in Australia. Along Whitsunday Island, the Whitehaven Beach stretches as far as 7 km. The clear blue water and the white soft sand is a must see and "must go to" place. Without a doubt, there is a sense of relaxation and (of course) beautiful tanning area!

There is an inlet called Hill Inlet near the northern part of the Whitehaven Beach. This area is where the most amazing blend of sand and water exists.  In addition, the best area to go to for the most breathtaking scenery is called Tongue Point on Whitsunday Island. The best time to tap into this alluring view is when there is a low tide. This is when you will be able to experience the perfect mix of sand and water.

How Can I Get there?
According to Wikipedia, people usually travel there by boat from tourist ports in Australia. These ports are Airlie Beach, Shute Harbour, and Hamilton Island.

A Little Geography

•  In 2008, this beach came in first in Queensland according to the Clean Beach Challenge State Awards. 
• In 2010, CNN gave it the name most Eco Friendly Beach (dogs not allowed on the beach and smoking is most definitely not permitted)
• The sand is made up of 98% pure silica (reason for its bright white color) 
• The sand on the beach  does not retain heat (it is extremely comfortable and easy to walk in)
