Comfortable Yet Cheap Airlie Beach Hotels

image_hotel_exterior_outside_1Airlie Beach is a beautiful, small town in Queensland, Australia’s Whitsunday Region. It is a popular tourist destination because it is one of several departure points in going to the Great Barrier Reef. However, depending in oceanic conditions, it usually takes two to three hours just to get to the reef from Shute Harbor. As a tourist destination, the local council of the beach built small to medium sized lagoons by the foreshore for swimming. This is because the beach gets inhabited by a type of jellyfish called marine stingers, especially during the months of November to May. The lagoon resembles the one in Caims.

Contrary to its name, Airlie Beach is not a conducive place to enjoy the beach. From October to May, it’s restricted to swim here. If you really want to swim, you’ll be required to wear a stinger suit or one made from a rash top kind of material. Airlie also has various restaurants that offer budget to expensive cuisines. There are also many take away eateries that provide special catering even to the backpacker market. Other favorable places known for their good food include Déjà vu at Water’s Edge Resort and Arlie Beach Hotel’s Capers. Along Airlie’s main street, Armada, you’ll find many city style cocktail bars and restaurants. Budget wise, head to Magnums or Morroco’s Beaches for great pub-style meals.
