Chance Bay, also on Whitsunday Island, is a double bay with 2 beautiful sand beaches. There is good snorkelling around the reef areas. As with other south exposed anchorages along these islands this one is risky for overnight use during the trade wind seasons.

Chance Bay is found on the south-eastern side of Whitsunday Island around the corner from Whitehaven Beach. This is an excellent 'Plan B' in northerly winds when it is not comfortable to stay at Whitehaven. Don't be deceived when trying to work out where you are - Chance Bay is made up of two smaller bays each with a sand beach. There is also good snorkelling in both bays.
Ensure you are available for 1pm radio schedules in case of a wind change
Sheltered from NE and NW.
