About this walk

Airlie Beach – Pram-Friendly Walks

Airlie Beach is a popular destination for families looking for relaxed, pram-friendly walks in the Whitsundays. With flat coastal paths, shaded foreshores, and excellent family facilities, this coastal town is well-suited to outings with babies, toddlers, and young children.

As the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands, the area offers beautiful ocean views alongside accessible walking tracks. Many of the paths are sealed or boardwalk-style, making them suitable for standard prams, jogging prams, scooters, and balance bikes.
