Brilliant turquoise waters surround the Whitsundays which is caused by the particles of fine sediments that come mostly from the river systems of the mainland.
Huge tides (typically 3–5 metres in rise and fall) that sweep this part of the coast keep these sediments stirred up and scatter the sunlight, in the same way that scattering of light gives the sky its blue colour.
