Cid Harbour is a very large Harbour and one of the all weather anchorages of the Whitsundays. It was occasionally used as an anchorage by the Australian and Allied navies during World War 2. Today it is popular with Yachts, trailer sailers and campers alike.

Hidden between Cid Island and the western side of Whitsunday Island, Cid Harbour encompasses several bays and beaches and provides a number of anchoring opportunities. It's a popular spot for campers as well as cruisers. Sometimes you'll also find ocean going vessels moored here to escape the elements. Dugong Inlet is a safe haven in stiff northerlies.
Shelter from NW to SW. Cid harbour provides excellent protection from all but winds from the West.
If anchoring at Joe's Beach, don't try to moor too close. There is extensive reef between Loriard Point and Joe's Beach
For the really adventurous, there is a walking track to Whitsunday peak... but make sure you pack some water! There is a nice walk round to Dugong Inlet from Sawmill Beach as well
Watch the sunset over the Molle island group to the West.
Reef flights can be arranged to collect you from here.
There are a number of small beaches in Cid Harbour.
