The Whitsunday Islands are on traditional Ngaro sea country; European sailing and pearling visits began in the 19th century and the area became protected as part of marine park zoning in the 20th century.
This area lies inside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, so anchoring, fishing and beach fires are regulated—stick to paths, take litter back to the mainland, and use reef-safe sunscreen.
