Shingley Beach Resort A Whitsundays Favourite

Tucked away in a quiet corner, the well-loved Shingley Beach Resort has earned its reputation not just through its picturesque ocean views but by building decades of trust, family memories, and with continuous improvements.

The resort, established in 2000, has been a favourite among returning guests, with many having first visited for weddings or honeymoons and now return for anniversaries. Generations of families have created traditions around staying here, turning it into a cherished home-away-from-home.

Shingley Beach Resort has been nominated in the Best of Queensland Experience, with Office Manager Tracey Tyler and Business Owner Geoff Canard saying it’s all due to the amazing location.

The resort is just minutes from the heart of town, and it continues to impress new visitors and long-time guests alike with its relaxed coastal charm and easy access to local attractions.

“The location is the star of the show,” said Office Manager Tracey Tyler.

“Nowadays, as it gets busier in town, we get a lot of comments and good feedback on our quiet location and the relaxing area.

“Being adjacent to Coral Sea Marina benefits us as well, the café’s, restaurant, boat life, and parklands.”

The resort offers a wide range of self-contained accommodation, from studio apartments to spacious three-bedroom townhouses. All of the rooms face the ocean, providing stunning views. Many guests comment on waking up to the morning panoramic ocean views and the peaceful, relaxed balcony sunsets, that offer the perfect setting to unwind at the end of the day.

But it's not just about the amenities, it's about the people too. “Our staff put 100% effort into making sure every guest has an excellent stay,” said Tracey.

“We've really poured our hearts into this place.”

The resort also doubles as a local information centre and tour booking agent, offering guests curated access to iconic Whitsundays experiences. Being close to many tour departure locations makes Shingley Beach Resort a highly sought-after location; from kayaking and paddle boarding to full-day ocean tours, visitors can explore the region with ease. Shingley Beach Resort also offers boutique shop fronts and the award-winning onsite specialty bakery & café – My Rainbow Bakery, Café & Catering.

At Shingley Beach Resort, staff are working hard on updating and renovating all the rooms. From fresh new paint to modern furniture, all new works enhance a guest's stay. Refurbished rooms, alongside the stunning view of the ocean, give guests a breath of quiet relaxation away from the busy Airlie Beach. It’s a place where comfort, convenience, and natural beauty meet.
