Whitsunday Islands National Park, Marine reserve in Queensland, Australia.
The national park encompasses 32 islands across 170 square kilometers, featuring white sand beaches, coral reefs, and dense tropical vegetation.
The Queensland government designated this collection of continental islands as a national park on March 24, 2000, to protect marine ecosystems.
The Ngaro Aboriginal people maintained deep connections with these islands for thousands of years, leaving behind numerous archaeological sites.
Visitors reach the islands through boat services departing from Airlie Beach or Shute Harbor, with multiple camping areas available across different locations.
Between May and September, humpback whales use the protected waters around the islands as calving grounds during their annual migration.
