Whitsunday Island (via Airlie Beach), Queensland
Bucket-list QPWS camp at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach's pure silica sands, reached by boat or camping-transfer service from Airlie Beach. Tent-only sites with toilets and picnic tables; bring all fresh water (5L per person per day) and use fuel stoves only - no fires. Crocodiles, marine stingers and sharks occur in these waters, so swim with real caution and never at dawn or dusk.
