Airlie Beach is the tourist mecca and starting point for most Whitsunday Holidays.   The township is constantly buzzing with people coming, going and enjoying their holidays. The main street is filled with places to eat, drink and have fun. There is a wide range of accommodation to suit everyone. Recently, a salt water lagoon has been completed on the waterfront, featuring landscaped lawns and a range of amenities. An ideal place to enjoy the tropical climate by day or night. 500 metres to the north of the township is Abel Point Marina, and the home of the OzSail fleet. It is accessable by road, or by a scenic boardwalk along the water's edge, via the Coral Sea Resort. Most places of accommodation include free transfers to Abel Point Marina where you will embark on your cruise.
