Originally named Port Molle, Long Island is just that - 11 kilometres long and no more than 1.5 kilometres wide. The island is in actual fact a national park with 13 kilometres of graded walking tracks leading to beautiful secluded beaches and dense bush areas. Palm and Happy Bay are the nearest safe anchorages to Shute Harbour and therefore a popular spot for yachties.
Long Island is regarded as the budget destination within the Whitsunday Island group. It has a number of resorts which promote themselves as 'getting away from it all' locations.
