Airlie Beach Information

Airlie Beach is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and inviting village lying at the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands.

Airlie is situated approximately 20kms east from the Sugar Cane Town of Proserpine and is on a peninsula surrounded by the bay one side and rugged mountains behind.
As you come into Airlie Beach from Proserpine, you will first pass through Cannonvale, which offers 2 major shopping centres. These shopping centres have the major store brands such as Woolworths and Coles, Big W and Target along with numerous small shops from hairdressers to hardware stores to clothing stores.
From Cannonvale keep heading towards Airlie Beach and you will rise up the hill, once at the top, stunning views to the left where you will look over Abel Point Marina and out to the islands. A further kilometre down the road and you arrive in Airlie Beach.

The Airlie foreshore is dotted with Sculptures crafted from stone and representing marine animals, like the Dugong, also known as the Elephant of the Sea. This is well worth a look and a photo. |
