[latitude: 20°16'3.92"S] [longitude: 148°42'56.01"E] In the midst of the Whitsundays region, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the tourist-tempting islands, sits Airlie Beach. Perfectly located in the heart of the Whitsundays region, the coastal town of Airlie Beach has long been a popular holiday destination. Long considered the gateway to the iconic Great Barrier Reef, this coastal town is a popular stopover, but a place well worth lingering longer. While it offers a convenient gateway for those wanting to explore the incredible marine parks surrounding it, Airlie Beach is a place worth taking your time in. The year-round tropical weather, palm-fringed beaches, waterfront parks, al fresco restaurants and vibrant markets inspire you to go with the flow and soak up the laid-back vibe. Nearby, you’ll find tropical rainforest and waterfalls in Conway National Park, while the sparkling waters of the Coral Sea offer plenty of adventures from sailing and snorkelling to sleeping on the reef. It’s eternal summer up here, where holidaymakers gather year-round. This coastal town isn’t exclusive, but in terms of accommodation there’s something to cater to every budget, from budget hostels to resorts well-versed in luxury.

Nice, been through there many a time 40 - 50 years ago as a youngster.
Not far from the home town.
I bet it's changed so much.

The Witsundays still holds a bit of the old magic, but from the past to present era it's changed no doubt.

You get around
