Coral Sea Marina Resort sits on the waterfront between the township of Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands, serving as a major gateway to the region's 74 islands and the Great Barrier Reef.

Formerly known as Abell Point Marina, it is Australia's largest privately owned marina, featuring 520 wet berths and earning the title of Australian Marina of the Year on multiple occasions.

Beyond berthing, the resort encompasses a boutique waterfront hotel, a marina village with dining and retail, marine services, private helipads, and approximately 2. 5 hectares of garden space.

Boaters and visitors use it as a primary departure point for cruising the Whitsundays, with tour operators and charter vessels operating directly from the marina. VHF contact is on Channel 9, call sign "Coral Sea Marina."
