Airlie Beach
 Airlie Beach is the gateway to the
Whitsundays - a colourful,
cosmopolitan and inviting holiday town lying on the shores of a palm fringed
beach and overlooking the calm waters of Pioneer Bay dotted with yachts.
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.
As you drive into Airlie Beach through the neighbouring community of
Cannonvale the road climbs above Abel Point Marina, providing expansive
views of the indented coastline, the aquamarine sea and the shapes of
distant islands on the horizon. You can't avoid the holiday feeling that
scene evokes, nor the relaxed tropical ambience as you wander around the
village streets and down to the vast lagoon. Set in landscaped parkland
overlooking the bay, Airlie Lagoon provides stinger free swimming with
lifeguard attendants and a children's pool.
Airlie Beach offers visitors a broad array of accommodation from stylish
resort hotels on the water's edge and apartments on the hillside overlooking
the panorama of beach, bay and islands, to bed and breakfast options,
motels, camping and caravan parks as well as a host of backpacker
accommodation. Airlie provides many of the essential services for travellers
in the region and the town's shopping areas are open seven days a week.
Every Saturday the foreshore parkland turns into a bustling market with
stalls selling fresh fruit and veggies, local arts and crafts and all manner
of goods under the shade of coconut palms.
The mainland's dining and entertainment options centre around Airlie Beach,
ranging from silver service resort dining to al fresco cafes and cheap eats,
while Airlie's clubs and bars provide plenty of entertainment well into the
night.
