Whitehaven Beach is a stunning 7-kilometer stretch of white silica sand located on Whitsunday Island, the largest of the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, Australia. Known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine natural beauty, the beach is part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park. Whitehaven Beach is accessible by boat, seaplane, or helicopter from Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island, making it a popular destination for day trips. The sand is composed of 98% pure silica, which gives it a bright white color and a fine, powdery texture.
