Airlie Beach is a small township located about half way between Bowen and Mackay. It is beautifully positioned to provide easy access to the esteemed Whitsunday Island group. This group of 74 tropical islands include well known destinations such as Hamilton, Daydream, Haymen, Lindeman and SouthMolle to name just a few. While these islands are better recognised world wide as holiday destinations, they and the region in general provide the opportunity for some spectacular fishing. All of the islands are within easy reach of small trailer boats, and good fishing can be had within just a few kilometres of the ramps.
The Airlie Beach region has two main ramps that could be considered all tide deep water ramps. Both ramps are good quality and feature some kind of pontoon or jetty. However, there is one massive drawback of both ramps…PARKING! If you thought parking was a problem in Townsville on good weekends, go have a look at what’s available here!
