Welcome to Langford Island — a small Whitsunday islet with a long sand spit that disappears at high tide. Popular for snorkeling, picnics, and scenic views of nearby Hook Island, it’s a favourite stop for day tours and sailing trips. Langford Island is just a 7 minute speedboat ride from Hayman Island or can be accessed via the mainland from Shute Harbour or Airlie beach.
