Sydney to Airlie Beach Travel Guide
Airlie Beach is often overlooked in favour of what’s just offshore – the Great Barrier Reef and the swirling Whitsunday Islands. But this north-east coast of Queensland has spades of character that’s all its own. Bays, lagoons and reefs offer sheltered swimming and snorkelling zones. And on dry land, little Airlie Beach deals out more than its fair share of backpacker hostels, bars and clubs. But how to get there? Just hop on one of the near-daily direct flights from Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport.
Airlie Beach isn’t just a springboard for the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef. This lively town makes the most of its subtropical backdrop, serving up Lions Park – an oceanside lagoon and gardens – and a sweep of hotels and bars that cater for every budget. Conway National Park swoops out from the south edge of town. This is one of the largest rainforests in Australia, starring peaceful beaches and cathedral-quiet trails. Ready to explore the Whitsunday Islands just offshore? Boat trips push off from Shute Harbour and the Port of Airlie.
