Food scene
My favourite venue in the Whitsundays!!! out of town 10mins drive from this unit. There is also a free shuttle bus (refer to their website or Facebook)
Its a great spot to chill and you get those 'island vibes' without having to catch a boat and it's nice to get off the main street of Airlie too.
They do great food and drinks and Live entertainment Friday nights and also Saturday and Sunday 2-5pm.
I prefer to go in the day for the views and they have day beds!

Walking
If you like bush walking this walk to Coral Beach will suit most levels of fitness. I even walk this with my children 4& 5 yrs old About 20mins each way.
The drive out to Shute Harbour, where the tracks starts from is nice too. The beach is beautiful and its mostly coral and rock instead of sand. I choose to do all my walking early morning or late arvo in the hotter months. This is a secluded bush walk so do take plenty of water.
There are other fantastic walks in the Whitsundays but they are more challenging (Mt Rooper and Honeyeater)
Coral beach walking track
Another easy walk with great views and its flat so great for all levels. You can start this walk at Cannonvale beach or the lagoon in Airlie.
Being that this ones in town there are places to stop and eat/drink along the way.
Keep your eyes out for turtles.

If you need a break and want to enjoy a drink or meal while your kids play. Try the reef Gateway (across from Baybreeze) it has an air-conditioned play area and you can walk to it from the unit. Its a tavern style.
Déplacements
Bus service is easy.
Buses are very easy in Airlie as there is only one main rd that runs through - Shute Harbour Rd. The bus stop is right out the front of the Bay Breeze complex.
