Visiting Whitehaven Beach requires a boat ride or a short flight in a helicopter or seaplane. Most visitors only make it to Whitehaven’s southern or northern ends but with a little planning and a dash of adventure, the rest of the beach — the six kilometres in the middle — can be all yours to explore. The ends of the beach, however, are well worth giving up a bit of solitude for, especially Hill Inlet at Whitehaven’s northern end.
