THE SETTING

Sheltered beside the marina, Shingley Beach stays gentle and still when the open coast gets busy. The water faces the sunset, so an evening ceremony here glows. It’s the spot for couples who want something quiet and unfussy, close to town but a world away from the crowds. Effortless from the moment you arrive.

Why here

01

Calm, sunset-facing water

Sheltered by the marina, the water stays still and glassy, and it faces west for a golden sunset backdrop.

02

Effortless access

Parking is close and the beach is a short, level stroll away. Easy for you and easy for any guests.

03

Quiet and understated

Away from the busier beaches, it’s an intimate, low-key setting where the day feels entirely your own.

Access & permits

Shingley Beach is just minutes from central Airlie Beach, next to the marina, with parking nearby and an easy walk to the sand. Council permits apply for ceremonies here, and we take care of that guidance for you. We’ll line up your ceremony with the sunset so the light is at its best. All you need to do is turn up and be present.
