Hill Inlet

Overview

If you find yourself in the sunny Whitsundays, there are tonnes of walking tracks across all the islands, which take you into bush, rainforest, tiny coves and top-of-the-mountain spots to look out across the islands. One you shouldn't miss is Hill Inlet. Head to the largest of the 74 islands, Whitsunday Island, and make a beeline for the northern end of Whitehaven Beach. Then, walk up to the Hill Inlet viewing platform at Tongue Point, where you get the killer view over the beach and, if you come at the right time, the swirling sands that appear when the tide changes. You can get here via Tongue Bay and a walk up a short track.
