Make sure you go up to the lookout the patterns in the sea are amazing.It only takes 15 minutes to the top. Make sure you have a camera. Best on sunny days.

Beautiful walk to a magical view. A sight we will never forget of the swirling white sands in the blue-green waters.

Beautiful! Had high expectations and wasn't disappointed. Very quiet in May, so no risk of random strangers in our photos!

A lovely walk up the hill leads to an incredible view over the amazing bay that is Whitehaven beach and Hill Inlet. It's an beautiful sight that changes daily with the flow of the river and the sea. It's another short walk to the beach itself. You have to see it if you're on the Aussie East Coast.

I would never believe that Hill Inlet was this amazing if I hadn't seen it for myself! The colors of the water and the swirling, white sand were like nothing I've ever seen or imagined before.

The beach is really one of the nicest, you need to walk there and when you get a first glimpse of the beach it's just awesome. Make sure you're early there.

Heard all the hype about Whitehaven, but my advice is wait for the sunshine- even the best beach in the world doesn't stack up in the rain!

We were lucky enough to see Hill Inlet on one it's truly amazing days! The weather and tide were perfect and it just looked absolutely beautiful! Definitely a must do for travellers if the weather is good! The bush walk was nice and a lot easier than expected which was nice. Really enjoyed my whole day on Whitsunday Island!
