WHITSUNDAYS VISITOR GUIDE 2022
H Y D E A W AY B AY, DINGO BEACH & CAPE GLOUCESTER One of the locals’ best kept secrets, Hydeaway Bay and its sister town Dingo Beach are situated at the top end of The Whitsundays, accessible by road 45 minutes north of Airlie Beach.
Quiet and secluded, these little hamlets are perfect for those seeking rest and relaxation on long, sandy beaches with hardly another soul in sight. Comprising just a handful of houses, resorts, a caravan park and pub, this is the perfect spot for getting away from it all. Pack a picnic, do a little beachcombing, and maybe cast a line off the beautiful, almost-empty beaches. Just a few kilometres on you will come to Cape Gloucester, overlooking Shag Islet and Gloucester Island. With its palm tree-lined
beaches and sparkling turquoise waters it is an idyllic tropical escape. With endless horizons and picturesque water views dotted with islands, Hydeaway Bay and Dingo Beach are perfect for long lazy days spent wandering and exploring the calm bays by kayak or stand-up-paddle board. A well-known fishing destination, Dingo Beach boasts a tidal boat ramp and extensive parklands, as well as barbeque facilities along the beach, the perfect spot for a family get together!
