WHALE BEACH

Sometimes overlooked, this beautiful stretch of beach is ideal for the couple that loves their feet in the sand and the sound of the waves. The stretch of sand along the main strip of Whale Beach is lined with beautiful Norfolk Pines, which gives a stunning overhead of branches – and also helps to provide some shade if you’re planning your nuptials during summer.

Unlike a lot of other locations here you can have your wedding car drive right up to your ceremony spot, so everyone sees you stepping out of your car in your beautiful glory! It’s a quieter location than the neighbouring Palm Beach, so you’re less likely to run into crowds. But as with every beachside ceremony, it can never be completely private so be prepared for the odd car driving past or some onlookers. It’s also better to stick to the warmer months for this one – the ocean air can get quite nippy and the sand gets cold underfoot. 

With plenty of parking and a short walk up the stairs to the fabulous Moby Dicks reception venue, this location is a must for all the beach lovers out there.
