Workation in Airlie Beach: the essentials

Boats are the point of Airlie Beach, a resort town of about 1,300 residents on the Queensland coast where trips leave for the Whitsunday Islands, Whitehaven Beach and reef pontoons. The strip along Shute Harbour Road is bars and backpacker hostels, and a free swimming lagoon on the foreshore makes up for the stingers in the sea during the warmer months. Life is seasonal and transient, with travellers and yacht crews coming and going. Rentals are scarce, nights can be loud, and cyclones are a real risk in the wet season, as Debbie showed in 2017. Whitsunday Coast Airport at Proserpine is about 30 km away.
