Airlie Beach is part of a picturesque peninsula that reaches out to the Whitsunday Passage and a great place to restock. Although the marina was disappointing we anchored just off the beach. A very cosmopolitan place with backpackers from all around the world.
We headed off to South Molle Island. An hour sail from the mainland and one of our favourite places when we did our trip many years ago. It has a relaxing South Seas ’ atmosphere and the palm-fringed beach set amongst sheltered waters. We swam in the pool and did all of the walks. The island has over 420 hectares of National Park and 16 kilometres of trails to explore that lead to beaches, bays and great views from Mt Jeffreys. Great place to relax.
Langford Reef 
Langford Reef is a beautiful sand and coral spit extending from Langford Island in the Whitsundays.

Stonehaven: Stonehaven is on the North Western side of Hook Island. It's a nice anchorage with views of Hayman, Bird, Langford and Black Islands.
Blue Pearl Bay is located at the North Western corner of Hayman Island. It offers excellent snorkelling and diving with a large variety of coral and plenty of sea life.
Manta Ray Bay, at Hook Island in the Whitsundays, has an array of underwater valleys, caves, and swim-throughs leading all the way to the seafloor 25 metres below. Considered one of the best dive & snorkel sites in the inshore islands, Manta Ray Bay has a good coverage of hard and soft corals and abundant marine life including Maori Wrasse and Manta Rays in winter.
Cid Harbour is a large, mostly sheltered, harbour on Whitsunday Island, Whitsundays.
Whitehaven Beach is located in the Whitsunday Islands and Airlie Beach Region. Whitehaven Beach is almost 6km long and consists of a very fine dazzling white sand that is 98% pure Silica!
Hill Inlet offers spectacular views of Whitehaven Beach.
These are some of the places we have been. In the next post I will show some of the resorts we have been too!!

Hi Jackie
We have certainly missed you, the girls and everything that happens for us at Bliss. Here at the Whitsundays there are many spa centres. We went to one on Daydream Island and it had some of the most interesting equipment. This is one of the pieces of equipment. http://www.daydreamisland.com/Rejuvenation_Spa/Bodycare.aspx You would have loved it.
Lovely to hear from you!!
Best wishes to Brooks who I know will be married soon.
Regards
Joanne and Amy
