Chalkies Beach is incredible, featuring the same pristine sand as Whitehaven Beach but with far fewer crowds. The snorkeling here is fantastic, and there's an awesome lookout on Haslewood Island. We visited as part of the Zigzag Whitsundays Day Tour and had a wonderful day exploring the islands.

Fantastic snorkeling experience, nearly on par with the Great Barrier Reef.

This was hands down the best spot for snorkeling in the Whitsundays. The diversity of fish and coral was impressive, and we even spotted a few turtles. Begin your snorkeling adventure at one end of the beach and let the current guide you until you reach the end of the sandy area. Then, simply walk back and start the loop again. We went with Explore Group, and they were incredibly friendly, providing us with plenty of helpful tips.
