Highlight: Every year, the Byron Bay Bluesfest attracts some of the biggest names in world music, and with it, thousands of Sydneysiders.

Whitehaven Beach is part of the Whitsunday Islands National Park and has more than 2½ miles of sand that’s 98% pure silica — so clean it squeaks. Visitors have to register with a tour guide for access, and can stay only for a few hours.

Worth knowing: In 2010, the beach won CNN’s Most Eco Friendly Beach award. Watch out for jellyfish in summer.
