 "The location of Backpackers by the Bay may seem like a downside at first, but it's just the opposite. Backpackers by the Bay is not located on the main street of Airly Beach, but just up the road, 4-5 minutes walking distance. Its location grants you with some quiet, since you're not right at the hub of all activities, but keep you on just a short walking distance from there. To reach there,...
 "Koala Beach Resort is one of the three dominant backpackers located on the main street in Airlie Beach. It is conveniently located close to the Airlie Beach Lagoon, the grocery store, the main bus stop, pay phones, an internet cafe, liquor stores and the town's nightlife. The building is in good condition and the dorm rooms are relatively clean, but not immaculate. This might be partly...

The rooms were so clean! I had my own TV,...
 "I couldn't fault this place. I stayed two weeks and didn't have a single problem. The staff are brilliant - they are friendly and genuine. I stayed in the twelve-bed dorm, which was always kept clean. And it was nice and cool, a must for that weather! The location is fantastic - it's a short walk from the nightspots, which is important if you've had one too many!!" … "Not a...
 "Great place to stay, cool staff." … "Life is short, party hard!!! That's their motto and they live by it! Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere is great. The rooms are pretty clean and they are set in a tropical landscape. Make sure you go to the nightclub, there's a foam pit on Monday night.

Airlie Beach Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Angie
Airlie is your jumping off point for the Whitsundays. And the place to get mad drunk with your boatmates afterward. Other than that, it's really not so special.
Comment by Disgruntled Aussie
Airlie Beach is a cardboard cutout village for tourists. Anyone who is interested in the real Australia should take some time out to visit any other small town that doesn't gain its capital from tourism or an indigenous settlement. That said, if partying, picking up, and getting pissed on an island is what it's all about for your trip -- go Airlie in a big way.

Airlie Beach was the first place to encourage me to fill my undies with sand and bark at the moon. It's a must for sadomasochists.
Comment by J.H
What a awesome spot -- it doesn't get much better than Airlie for fun in the sun and parties all night.
Comment by Sinan
It's like spring break. It's just one street and all you do is get smashed at night with all the clubs and bars. An absolute must is Whitehaven beach. Enjoy!
Comment by Gemma
I visited Airlie in 2001. It was a great place, beautiful. You must go to Whitehaven beach! It is the most beautiful place I have ever been!
Comment by Lindsay from Canada
My friends and I stayed here for a week in August 2003, we had a blast. The 3 day Whitsunday catamaran trip was amazing!! All in all I would definitely recommend goin to Airlie beach for a good time with friends.
