Some of the places to visit and activities to take pleasure in while on holiday at Airlie Beach include:

Swimming at the Beach Lagoon

Located right in the heart of the bubbly Airlie Beach is an eye-catching man-made swimming lagoon surrounded by parkland overlooking the breathtaking Coral Sea. The pool is popular with visitors eager to soak up the sun, take snapshots, read a book in a relaxing ambiance or just swim in the warm waters. It features a sandy beach, shady grass areas and a smaller swimming pool for kids. The lagoon is supervised to ensure safety and entrance is free for all.

Taking the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari

If you want to get intimate with the nature at Airlie Beach, the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari will be an incredible option. The safari offers an electrifying day trip straight into the territory of the saltwater crocodile. It takes you from Airlie Beach by bus, followed by travel using an open air tractor-drawn wagon train along the Goorganga wetlands. The Safari presents the best chance to come into proximity with the estuarine crocodiles in their natural habitat. Other animals to see on the safari include an assortment of native birds, mammals, and marine animals. Don’t forget to take your camera with you.

Sailing in Hired Boats and Yachts

There are large fleets of yachts and powerboats as well as catamarans that you can hire and skipper them yourself. Popularly known as “bare boating”, the experience can be equated to a houseboat or a caravan giving you holiday memories to cherish for a long time. Imagine skippering a yacht or boat away into a Whitsunday’s sunset! That would be an experience to remember without a doubt. There are many companies offering boats and yachts for hire, and the rates depend on the size and how long you will use them.

Sampling the Culinary Delights

A tour of the Airlie Beach would not be complete without indulging in the region’s scrumptious food and wine. Local cuisine and fresh produce are part of the food on the menu. So popular are the dishes here that one of the streets, the Esplanade has been christened as Airlie’s eat street. Food in restaurants is prepared to meet even the most demanding of taste buds using Mexican, Asian, Moroccan, European and modern Australia cooking styles. The staff are friendly, and most restaurants provide live music to keep you entertained.

There is so much that Airlie Beach has to offer and the best way to sample it is making the Beach your next holiday destination. There is plenty of accommodation from 5-star hotels to resort as well as accommodation for backpackers. Other places near Airlie Beach that are worth visiting include the lesser known Dingo Beach and the town of Bowen.
