New glamping location – “Glamping by the Bay”
Without a doubt, you’ve all heard about the crown jewel of the Australian beaches, Whitehaven Beach, located in the famous Whitsunday Islands. But what if I told you that there’s another shiny hidden gem in the Whitsunday area that’s definitely worth a visit?
If you like to seek out hidden gems on your travels, Hydeaway Bay should be on your list when visiting the Whitsundays. This tiny coastal hamlet is set on a long, white, sandy beach on a no-through road about 50 kilometres from Airlie Beach (take the Gregory-Cannon Valley Road to Dingo Beach Road and then don’t miss the turn to Hydeaway Bay Drive).
Originally settled with summer shacks for local farmers, there are now a few hundred houses scattered along the beach and the nearby hills. The beach has five public access points and you can comb for shells on a low tide, swim the fringing coral reef or try your luck fishing from the beach or in a “tinnie” (Aussie lingo for small tin boat). The nearest boat hire and ramp is just down the road at Dingo Beach.
Locals actually say the best thing to catch in Hydeaway Bay is peace and quiet. It’s guaranteed you will hardly see a soul but you could be lucky enough to spot a dugong, dolphin, whale or turtle on your travels.

Sleep in 5 star luxury under the stars
Slow down and chill out
Unplug and enjoy the simplicity of nature. Forget charging your smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles, and instead recharge your own batteries. Your body and mind will thank you for it and you will return to work refreshed and energised. Turn off the internet, the emails and even the news. All you need is one charged phone for emergencies, kept turned off and packed away.
This unique experience was amaing with no hassles. You arrive with your clothes and everything else is supplied. Helen was a wonderful host and very communicative. Everything was set up perfectly and I would highly recommend booking this experience for a special occasion or just a weekend away.

One of the important health benefits of camping is that it reduces stress by removing common triggers like work pressure, traffic and the rush of day-to-day life, replacing them with the calming effect of bird song, the sound of waves on the beach and the wind in the trees. The real thing is much more therapeutic than anything you’ll find on your music playlist.
