Made of 98 per cent silica, the sand at Whitehaven Beach is so pure it never gets hot under your feet. Even the scientists are unsure how it came to be so pristine, but The Sinkers Masters Swim club isn’t asking any questions, they’re just planning to host the Whitehaven Open Water swim on the King’s Birthday long weekend, October 5th 2025.
Choose from a 500m, 1km or 2km swim with medals to be presented on Whitehaven Beach.
Come prepared for a day of fun in the sun topped off by the after party at Northerlies. A courtesy bus is available to and from any location in Airlie.
Discounted accommodation is available at Club Croc Airlie Beach.

• Full-day return trip from Shute Harbour to Whitehaven Beach
