Hamilton & whitehaven beach

Another lovely day trip. Up & out early for the 7.30 not to Hamilton island for a half day there, followed by a half day to Whitehaven beach. Forecast was meant to be storms & rain, but we had perfect t weather all day. Hamilton was lovely though quite commercial hotels some luxurious some not so. Everyone seemed to have a golf buggy’s. We took the bus that was free & went for a tour around the island. Some beautiful spots including one tree hill & the bus driver let have a few moments taking pics. We went to the wildlife cafe after the bus tour for coffee & to view the kola’s and python. We paddle boarded in the sea at the resort, and swam up to the bar for a cocktail 🍹. Quick dash round for our fish & chips then the boat to Whitehaven. Whitehaven beach - boat pulled up to beach & we got off to glorious white sand. To be honest it didn’t have the wow factor that 7 mile beach had as there were a lot of people around, but it was beautiful when you got away from the crowds. I went paddle boarding but this time due to the jellyfish had to wear a stinger suit. I paddled too far down the beach & saw a lovely sting ray along with a jellyfish, though the 1 I saw was harmless. After a couple of hours it was time to go .. lovely afternoon & so pleased we managed to see both islandsRead more
