very protected anchorage that has a few shallow spots on the way in, so be aware of the state of the tide, it is probably best to enter on a rising tide.

If you want protection from the elements, this is the place! Gulnare is on the western side of Whitsunday Island, just a short scoot north from Hamilton Island. Gulnare offers protection in all wind directions and you can fish the time away.
Check with CCY to ensure tides are right for entering the inlet.
Shelter in All wind directions except a strong Southerly.
Enter Gulnare Inlet on the top half of a rising tide as it is a shallow entrance. There are isolated reefs to be careful of - one to the east of the entrance to the Inlet and if you're coming from the Fitzalan Passage, watch the reef south of the Inlet.
Gulnare offers good holding and protection from most winds except a strong southerly.
