The Whitsundays, Australia

Sand so fine and white it barely gets hot underfoot, a swirl of white and blue at Whitehaven Beach best seen from the air, and a sail through seventy-four islands with the reef just offshore the whole way.

The best time to visit The Whitsundays is Jun–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (87°F).
