Just across the passage from Whitehaven is Chalkies. This anchorage has a magnificent beach. If Whitehaven is crowded this is a good alternative. In neap tides and light southerly winds, snorkelling at the Northern end of the beach is good.  People that experience any of our Whitsundays bareboat charters often comment on the beauty of this iconic location

Chalkies beach is aptly named for its powder white sandy beach. It is an excellent alternative to Whitehaven beach if that anchorage is crowded.  Overnight anchoring in Easterly conditions is slightly better than Whitehaven with better protection from the wind.
Shelter from E to SE.
Coral fringe at either end of the beach with a deep drop off at the southern end.  Anchoring is not as easy as it is at Whitehaven.
Coral fringing reef offers snorkelling at the South Western edge of the beach.
Watch the sun set over Whitehaven Beach
Outer reef flights can be arranged to collect you from here.
Chalkies Beach is a pristine, white, sandy beach that you can enjoy for hours.
