All about Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island is situated between Queensland’s north coast and the Great Barrier Reef, just under 900 kilometres north of the state capital Brisbane. It is one of the 74 tropical islands in the Coral Sea and is the largest inhabited island in the Whitsundays. The Island measures just over five square kilometres, with more than 80 percent of it being natural tropical bushland, and it is home to many native Australian animals and birdlife.

With its white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters, Hamilton Island is one of Australia's most sought-after holiday destinations. It is a convenient base from which to explore the nearby Whitehaven Beach, the Great Barrier Reef, and the famous Heart Reef, a stunning coral composition naturally formed in the shape of a heart. The Island’s most prominent beach is Catseye Beach. It is well known for its scenic points and natural beauty, and from here you can enjoy the abundance of water activities on offer.
