Stumbled across a café here and had a light lunch sitting outside overlooking the harbour - fantastic. The only 'gripe' is we were the only 2 in the café ordering a meal and the waitress 'forgot' our coffees as she said she had too much on her mind.

When driving into Shute Harbour from Airlie Beach, the first thing that greets you is the amazing water colour. It is something that will stay in your memory for eternity.

We drove to Shute Harbour which used to be buzzing many years ago. Now, it is almost dead. Planes either go to Proserpine or Hamilton Island. Boats go to Hamilton or Airlie. Some boats leave from Shute, but not many these days.

The door to paradise, there are so many separate choices for holiday makers. I recommend the yacht sailing as a passenger so you can enjoy the view, the champagne and the seafood.

Information centre, cafe, relaxing atmosphere. Good place to launch a boat, however limited trailer parking - noticed trailers parked up to 1.5km from the boat ramp. Paid parking available for cars.
