Whitsunday Islands, day 2!!! Whitehaven Beach....Heaven on earth!!!

If you ever wanted to save money and travel to a place so breathtaking, so naturally spectacular, so awe inspiring that you knew you had never seen anything like it before in your life and never would again; it would be Whitehaven Beach. From a high vantage point this stunning beach of pure white sand swirling around crystal clear water will literally take your breath away.

We arrived at the Whitsunday National Park on the Apollo and were ferried into the shore on the diggy and then walked up hill through the bush to the high vantage point to take in the amazing view of Whitehaven beach below. Once you catch your breath again you cam walk down the far side of the hill to the beach itself were the sand is so light its nearly blinding. We put on your wet suits as it was wet season and walked through the shallow waters of a pool were spotted sting rays swimming beneath the surface. Then we walked to the sea itself and lay in the pure transparent water for two hours. Never did I feel so excited by what I was seeing and so relaxed by the unspoilt beauty of my surrounding all at once.
What a way to spend a day!!!
