It is the whitest sand you will find anywhere on earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The sand that never retains heat:<\/strong> The sand on Whitehaven is composed of 98 per cent silica, hence it has a powder-like consistency and doesn\u2019t retain heat. Tourists can walk along its seven kilometres of sand comfortably even in the hottest part of the day. The immaculate beach is the perfect place to relax and sunbathe even at the height of summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A beach made of pure silica:<\/strong> Whitehaven is made of 98% pure silica unlike most beaches in the world. The silica gives the sand its snowy complexion and other unique traits. When compared to regular beach sand that consists of uneven bits of minerals, the silica sand is of a finer grain. Hence it is softer, and has a velvety feel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Its unusual origin:<\/strong> The nearby rocks do not have silica, despite the fact that the sand on the beach is made of pure silica. This means that tides carrying the silica grains must have deposited the sand on the island millions of years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Strict regulations: \u00a0<\/strong>Regulations have been put in place to keep the beach in its heavenly state. In order not to mar the posh surroundings dogs and cigarettes are not allowed on the beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The most photographed beach:<\/strong> The Whitehaven is the most photographed beach of Australia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Beautiful fusion of colours:<\/strong> To create beautiful fusion of colours a tuning cove shifts the tide from sand and water of Whitehaven beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A trip to Whitehaven is unforgettable:<\/strong> International holiday packages include many exotic luxury cruises to Whitehaven Beach, which makes it a memorable trip for visitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The right destination for those who love adventure:<\/strong> If you love adventure, you can include activities like sea kayaking, rafting, etc in your international holiday package to Whitehaven beach. The beach also offers a lot of fun activities for tourists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Value for money holiday:<\/strong> A trip to Whitehaven Beach matches perfectly with the budget of any person as it is highly affordable.
