It’s a part of Australia known for having some of the most picturesque coastlines in the world, but a “hidden” gem has those who know it in awe of its beauty.
A short drive just outside Airlie Beach in Queensland’s Whitsundays will take you to one of the region’s best kept secrets, known as Hydeaway Bay.
A beloved destination for tourists and locals alike, it is the ultimate weekend retreat.
Located in the middle of the infinite blues of the Coral Sea, this destination offers adventure, relaxation, family time or fun with friends.
The isolated village is situated on a long white sand beach on a dead-end road about 50 kilometers from Airlie Beach, situated on the edge of the Indian Ocean.
The secret coastal retreat is the perfect escape for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat without the hassle of a long trip.
The beach has five public access points and is perfect for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, casting, or getting away from it all.
You will be surrounded by a vibrant ecosystem of birds, butterflies and diverse flora and fauna that will delight all your senses.

Just a 45-minute drive away, adventurers can have their own stretch of Paradise all to themselves.
A towel, sunscreen, and bug spray will make your visit even more wonderful! Pack a picnic and enjoy the surroundings.
You can only get there by car, so if you didn’t bring your own, rent one in Airlie Beach and explore one of the Whitsundays’ hidden wonders at your own pace, for a day or a few nights.
This secluded spot is home to a handful of beach huts and a caravan park, as well as being home to 200 lucky residents.
