Getting There
-
Walking
If you are starting from the Airlie Beach Foreshore, head southeast along the beachfront promenade. You'll see the Lagoon on your left side after about a 10-minute walk. Follow the path as it curves along the shore, enjoying the views of the Whitsunday Islands. When you reach the end of the promenade, cross Shute Harbour Road at the designated pedestrian crossing, and you will see the entrance to the Airlie Beach Lagoon directly ahead.
-
Walking
From the Airlie Beach Main Street (where most shops and cafes are located), walk down to the roundabout near the ocean. Take the path leading towards the beach and continue straight until you reach the foreshore. At the foreshore, turn left and walk along the promenade for about 5 minutes. The Lagoon will be on your left side, just past the playground.
-
Walking
If you are at the Airlie Beach Markets (held on Saturdays), exit the market area and head southeast towards the beach. Walk straight until you reach the foreshore path, then turn left. Continue along the path for about 7-10 minutes, and the Lagoon will be on your left side right after you pass the small beach.
