Sailor’s secret:
The white powdery sand of Chalkies was the inspiration for the name Chalkie given to a baby male white whale first spotted in the Whitsundays in late 2011.
Features:
Known as ‘little Whitehaven’, Chalkies Beach on Haslewood Island has the same white silica sand as Whitehaven Beach – remains of the volcanic rocks of the island’s interior. The water is usually clear and the fringing coral reef just offshore provides some great snorkelling with amazing coral and colourful small fish. The beach is a beautiful place to spend the day.
