After a beautiful night at Hayman Island, it's time to head to the world-renowned Whitehaven Beach. This deserted beach is famous for its pure white sand and is considered one of the world's most stunning beaches.

Day 5 - Mantaray Bay
The Whitsundays is full of stunning and secluded beaches where you can relax peacefully.
