It's the largest anchorages in the Whitsundays, only a few nautical miles north of Hamilton Island and one of the closest anchorages across Whitsunday Passage from Airlie Beach. Coupled with fact that it's secure and very pretty it's no wonder that it's a popular overnight anchorage for many yachts, including ourselves.
Cid Harbour was used by the Australian and allied navies as an anchorage during World War II. It has 2 beaches, Sawmill and Dugong plus two great bush walks. One to Dugong inlet and the other one to Whitsunday Peak, 2.5km straight up but well worth the effort. And yes, there are Dugongs here which is a big treat to see.
