Fact finder
The Whitsundays are the largest cluster of offshore islands in all of Australia. Of 74 total islands, 60 are uninhabited. It’s also home to Whitehaven Beach, internationally recognised as one of the top 5 beaches on earth. The majority of the islands are made up of protected national park areas. It’s a lovely part of Australia – which may be why more than 1500 people get married here every year.1
