Betty’s Beach Whitehaven Whitsundays

Betty’s Beach is a small hidden gem in the Whitsundays, a haven of seclusion and unspoiled beauty. With its mesmerizing views and breathtaking scenery, it’s the perfect place to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. Located on the edge of Hill Inlet this special beach has the same sands as Whitehaven and is far less crowded.

Betty’s Beach is accessible only by boat, which adds to its exclusivity. You can take a private yacht, a group tour, or a bareboat charter to reach the eastern side of Whitsunday Island, near Tongue Bay and on Hill Inlet Point. The beach is part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park and is open year-round, but the best time to visit is between May and September.  The beach can also be accessed from the Hill Inlet walking track from Tongue Bay

This beach has flat water 95% of the year, with no waves or ocean swell. Why? it’s protected from the Great Barrier Reef, and winds from the south, west, and north, plus its protected from the island itself (see the map below)

Betty’s Beach is a nature-lover’s dream, with its crystal-clear waters, powdery sands and lush greenery. Swimming and sunbathing are just some of the activities you can enjoy in this small tranquil paradise in Queensland Australia. Exploring the nearby Hill Inlet lookout trail and Australian bush is also a great way to discover the area’s hidden gems. (there are a few off trail lookouts)
