Introducing Airlie Beach
The gateway to the Whitsunday Islands, Airlie defies its relatively small size by humming constantly to the tune of a party somewhere. Days simmer with buzzing beer gardens before bubbling into jumping festivities in the glut of bars, clubs, pubs and cafés. Backpackers tripping into town to embark on the mandatory Whitsunday cruise make the most of it, but yachties and local holidaymakers also congregate here. All this activity takes place on the main drag, Shute Harbour Rd. Airlie boasts an excellent range of accommodation, and a glorious artificial lagoon, right on the foreshore.
