Cid Harbour
A sheltered harbour on the west side of Whitsunday Island, a classic anchorage for sailing enthusiasts. It has a campground on the shore and is the starting point for climbing the island's highest peak.
Cid Harbour lies between Whitsunday Island and Cid Island. Surrounded by mountains, it has calm waters and is a traditional overnight anchorage for self-drive sailing trips. Sawmill Beach and Dugong Beach have national park campgrounds, which must be booked on the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service website. You get there by water taxi. In 2018, a shark attack occurred here, and authorities advise against swimming in the bay.
