Airlie Beach

Airlie beach doesnt really have a great beach, but it does have a man made lagoon and great trips out to the Whitsunday islands....
Choosing our as easy - we are fast running out of money so went for the cheapest option!!!
The BIG FURY was running a christmas special at a discounted price. This was a one day speed boat trip the Whitsunday Islands, Whiteheaven beach and more Coral Reef...
our FURY speed boat..

It was a bumpy ride and we all got a little wet!!

First snorkelling to see more amazing and colourful coral reef and fish...

My very attractive stinger suit.... The guy on the boat called Becs a pocket rocket as she needed a childs suit!!!

Followed by soaking up the sun and lunch on the stunning beech of the whitsundays (whitehaven beech). Whitehaven Beach is 98% pure silica and we could see its ranked in the top 10 beaches in the world...

The island is home to huge lizards.. who made lunch time less than relaxing...

The sea is crystal clear and makes for perfect swimming..

Despite the herds of tourists the beach is still a peaceful and beautiful place - a couple flew in and got married on the beach whilst we were there...

Shame the bride was sea sick!!

After a wonderful day visiting the Whitsunday's it was time to head back to Airlie Beech. Later that night we caught the Greyhound bus to Agnus Waters.
