Title: A Tropical Gem on Hamilton Island Catseye Beach on Hamilton Island is a true tropical gem, providing a peaceful and idyllic retreat. The beach's crystal-clear waters and soft, sandy shores make it perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and unwinding. It is impeccably maintained, with complimentary lounging areas that enhance the overall experience. For those seeking adventure, a variety of water sports are available, including snorkeling and paddleboarding, allowing you to explore the vibrant marine life just off the coast. The surrounding scenery is stunning, offering a picturesque backdrop for an unforgettable vacation. Catseye Beach is genuinely a slice of paradise, making each visit feel special and every moment treasured.

Without a doubt, the best way to experience the Sunday Islands. It's just as stunning as the larger ones but with far fewer people. We stayed for three nights in July 2022 and only encountered six other people the entire time.

We decided to anchor here for lunch one day because we wanted to climb Whitsunday Peak. The water has a muddy bottom, so it's not as clear as other places in the Whitsunday group. It would provide shelter from a northeasterly or easterly wind, but not from a northerly or southerly wind, so it's not as protected as it may seem. Therefore, I don't think it's suitable for anchoring small crafts. There is a camping spot with several sites, but you need to book with the national parks, and I saw them checking, so expect a visit. It would be a great spot if you wanted to camp in the campground for a few days, although the beach is not the most beautiful. However, most people are sleeping in their boats, and this is not the best place to anchor. It's too shallow for bigger boats and exposed for smaller boats. If you want to hike the peak, you need to get there early. The hike takes about four hours round trip, and you wouldn't want to be stuck on the trail in the dark. Make sure you're prepared with hiking shoes, water, and snacks because this is not an easy hike. But it's definitely worth it if you're up for the challenge.

You are guaranteed to have an amazing time.

Le camping est plutôt bien. Il dispose de toilettes et d'endroits ombragés. Le seul inconvénient est que vous êtes coincé sur la plage et que vous ne pouvez pas vous aventurer à la découverte de l'île.
