Introducing Betty’s Beach: Why Aussies are stunned by this hidden gem spot dubbed ‘heaven on earth’ by those who find it
A hidden beach near a popular tourist destination with white-bleached sand and crystal clear water has been dubbed the ‘ultimate paradise’.
Located on Hill Inlet in the Whitsundays off the Queensland coast, Betty’s Beach is a ‘secret’, picturesque location in an ‘enchanting’ island landscape.
At the northern end of the world famous Whitehaven Beach lies a rock face behind which you will find the relative seclusion of Betty’s Beach.
This remote location, beloved by travelers for its powdery sand and “breathtaking” water, is only accessible by boat.
Set in the lush wilderness of the Whitsunday Islands National Park, this magical swimming spot is reached via a breathtaking twenty-minute walk along the Hill Inlet Walking Track, which starts at Tongue Bay.
The turquoise water against the green backdrop of the national park is described as ‘absolutely beautiful’ and attracts tourists from all over the world.
The shallow waters of Betty’s are also an attractive destination for families with small children, and at certain times of the year you can also spot stingrays.
