Airlie Beach is the main gateway town for the Whitsunday Islands, a 74-island archipelago in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The town's small boat harbour is the departure point for sailing charters, day-trip catamarans, and bareboat hire that service the islands and the outer reef. The town lagoon provides a safe swimming alternative to the marine stinger-prone coastal waters during summer months.
