Airlie Beach/Whitsundays area is a pretty place, with attractive parkland and two excellent marinas - Abel Point Marina and Shute Harbour. It is certainly a beautiful area to visit for a holiday. There are many activities to keep the tourist/back packers occupied for the duration of their stay. There are many shops, pubs and restaurants (and some great ice cream shops) to visit and spend you’re hard earned dollars. Airlie Beach is also a great base from which to explore and sail around the Whitsundays, with many sailing and motorised trips available out to the Great Barrier Reef for snorkelling or diving. It’s certainly one of our favourite spots so far.
