Airlie Beach & Cannonvale

Airlie Beach is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations. It is a vibrant, cosmopolitan holiday town boasting a palm fringed coastline, a lagoon, sidewalk cafes, waterfront markets, alfresco dining and energetic nightlife.

Earning its name as the "gateway to the Whitsundays", Airlie Beach provides access to 74 islands from its two main marinas Abel Point Marina and Shute Harbour. Airlie is part of a picturesque peninsula that reaches out to the Whitsunday Passage and provides the ideal mainland base for holiday fun and adventure in the Whitsundays.

Just minutes away, neighbouring Cannonvale is the business hub of the Whitsundays, providing substantial support for the tourism and marine industries. Cannonvale is also the support base for young families boasting high quality public and private schools.
