Traveller notes on Airlie Beach in November
Other months in Airlie Beach
Airlie Beach's forum calls October reliably beautiful — warm days, cooler balmy evenings, low humidity and very little rain, with sea conditions flat enough for smooth sailing around the Whitsundays. The one catch regulars flag: stinger season starts around this point, so swimming in the open water means a stinger suit from here on.
