Does Anyone Live On Whitsunday Island?
While Whitsunday Island itself is not inhabited, there are a few islands nearby that do have quite a few people living there. National parks have openly stated loud and clear that there will never be any development of accommodation on Whitsundays Island.
Whitsunday Island is home to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, which is a very significant aboriginal area. On top of this, any development on the island could affect the natural flow of wind and water which could have an impact on the beauty of Whitehaven Beach.
