Sawmill Beach

Nestled on Long Island in the Whitsundays, this sheltered turquoise cove offers calm, crystalline waters perfect for families and snorkellers seeking vibrant coral gardens without venturing far offshore. The pristine white sand and gentle gradient make it ideal for young children, while the fringing reef teeming with tropical fish provides excellent underwater exploration just metres from shore. Its distinctive feature is the accessible shipwreck of the Yongala wreck replica nearby, creating a unique historical diving experience.
