Maureen's Cove

Drop anchor off Maureen's Cove on the western side of Hayman Island and you've got one of the Whitsundays' most quietly rewarding spots to yourself. It's a designated camping area, so you'll often share the shoreline with a handful of tents, but the setting — sheltered, unhurried, backed by the island's lush interior — more than makes up for the company. Hayman Island's world-class One&Only resort sits just around the coast if you fancy a splurge on land.
