| Description |
Chance Bay is found on the south-eastern side of Whitsunday Island around the corner from Whitehaven Beach. This is an excellent 'Plan B' in northerly winds when it is not comfortable to stay at Whitehaven. Don't be deceived when trying to work out where you are - Chance Bay is made up of two smaller bays each with a sand beach. There is also good snorkelling in both bays. |
