Whitehaven

We were lucky to get a couple of places on the afternoon boat to Whitehaven today. All of the full day trips were booked out and there were only a few places left on the half day trip. The trip leaves from Abel Point boat harbour at Airlie Beach and picks up at Daydream and Hamilton Islands before making landfall at Whitehaven where you have about two hours to walk or swim or sit in the shade and admire the beauty of it all.

The photos below were either taken from the boat or on Whitehaven Beach (where the fine white sand is almost pure silica). 

At the end of the day, we sailed off into the sunset:
