Shute Harbour suffered during Tropical Cyclone Debbie in 2018 and is largely unused. It is a sheltered port for small vessels located approximately 10km east of Airlie Beach. There is no marina here but Whitsunday Rent a Yacht still operate here and have their own berths.

No ferries use the harbour now – they operate out of Port Airlie.

The anchorage here is secure and boats still moor here.
