Fans of resting in exotic locations can visit the famous Whitehaven Beach, which is located on the Whitsunday Island, Australia. The world-famous beach owes its magic to the crystal clear white sand, where silica content is about 98%. The coastline is rather large, it is about 7 000 meters long.
The coastline is so extended, that it's possible to appreciate the beauty of the snow-white beach in full only from the bird's-eye view. However, if watch the place from height, one can notice another specific feature. Whitehaven Beach is shallow, and therefore represents a unique combination of snow-white sand dunes and azure creeks. The place has another peculiarity, which is not so nice. By noon, the sand is usually very hot, so it's impossible to walk here without footwear. The white sand of the Whitehaven Beach reflects the most sunlight and warmth, so even at noon skin can’t be burned there.
Travellers who decide to visit the most beautiful beach in Australia, will be able to choose from a bunch of leisure activities. They can sign up for a tour by seaplane and enjoy the beach from a height, or go to the nearby observation platform offering excellent views of the sand dunes. The entire territory of Whitsunday Island is a national park. There are no hotels, but several special camping areas are provided for tourists.
