Sprinkled across the turquoise waters along the Queensland coast, the 74 islands of the Whitsundays are some of the world’s most spectacular. With powder white sand beaches, pristine coral reefs and dense green bushland, these jewel-like islands are a tropical playground. The whole area is protected under the Whitsunday Islands National Park and just eight of the islands are inhabited, making this truly an untouched paradise in the Coral Sea.
