Howard [ Just Imagine ] 16-Jan-2010Long Island Resort (Club Crocodile)
Historically, Happy Bay has been a popular first-night anchorage for bareboat charterers, who often haven't time to get to another overnight anchorage after their briefing in Shute Harbour but who want to get on their way rather then spending their first night at Shute. It is the site of
Club Crocodile Long Island Resort. If you wish to overnight at Happy Bay and visit the resort whilst sailing the Whitsunday Islands, radio ahead of VHF Channel 16 to advise your arrival time and to book a mooring with the watersports Manager.
Just south of Happy Bay on Long Island is Palm Bay. Palm Bay has a dredged channel and lagoon offering another good overnight anchorage near Shute Harbour, a great place to stay during your Whitsundays bareboat charter. There is room in the lagoon for 8 vessels and there are 2 moorings outside the lagoon as well. Once in the harbour, yachts pick up a mooring and tie a stern line ashore. There is an overnight fee and visitors are welcome to use facilities at the Peppers Retreat, including the signature restaurant 'La Riviera'.
