Australia is a huge country which means it boasts one of the largest coastlines in the world, and with that comes some amazing beaches. There is literally a beach to suit everyone here in Australia. Picking the best beaches is no easy task as there really are hundreds to choose from.
Below are three of the the best beaches in Australia. They have been chosen from my all time top 10 list of Australian beaches.
Cable Beach, Broome
Broome is on the quieter West Coast of Australia. It is best visited between May and October in the dry season. You can go outside of these times but expect it to be very humid and for it to rain.
Broome's Cable Beach is over 20km long and is stunning. To witness the famous "Stairway to the Moon" you will need to get here for the beginning of the month during a full moon. The spectacle takes place at Roebuck Bay where the mud flats at low tides give the illusion of a staircase right up to the moon.
Another must do here in Broome is to witness the sunset. There are some great ways to experience a sunset but perhaps the most novel is sitting on top of a camel. Enjoy a camel ride followed by a proper Aussie BBQ and watch the sun set over the sea.
Whitehaven Beach, The Whitsundays
The Whitsundays are definitely for you if your idea of heaven is warm turquoise seas and blinding white sand.
The Whitsundays are a set of 74 islands, most of which are uninhabited. There are a few that have their own resort on them and it is probably one of the most stunning areas in Australia. It is also one of the most expensive!
There are lots of stunning beaches throughout the Whitsundays but by far Whitehaven Beach is the best. Like the majority of islands, there are no facilities so the best way to spend some time here is on a day trip. There are plenty of tours available or you can skipper your own boat and head out for the day and enjoy a picnic.
Bondi Beach
No trip to Sydney is complete without a trip to Bondi Beach. Its about a 20 minute bus ride out of the city and the place that the locals and tourists like to hang out on a hot day.
Most are surprised by the size of Bondi. It is a large crescent shaped beach and great if you love surfing. It's not the place I'd choose to learn to surf though as the waves are pretty big. Why not sit and watch the experts instead.
On both ends of the beach youll find an RSL club. These are Returned and Serviced League clubs and are not just for those who have served in the Australian Defence Services. They are found throughout Australia. and providing you have some photo ID, you can enjoy a drink and some food at bargain prices. In this case, you can have the best view of Bondi beach.
