Australia's Best Beaches

Article Written By: JenniferSchellington

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 beaches chosen form my all time top 10 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.

The beach itself is beautiful with 22km of beautiful sand. Come between March and October and you will get to witness the illusion of the andquot;Stairway to the Moonandquot; This is a beautiful view at Roebuck Bay where the mud flats at low tides give the illusion of a staircase up to the moon. This only takes place during a full moon so there are usually about 3 days per month where the spectacle is visible. This is usually at the beginning of the month.

On this side of the coast you get to watch the sun set over the water. This is a must do in Broome and there are plenty of ways you can enjoy the sunset. One of the more unique ways is to take a ride on a camel. There is usually a lovely BBQ afterwards too where you can enjoy the view with some proper Aussie tucker.

Whitehaven Beach, The Whitsundays

If you want turquoise water that is so warm you could be having a bath, combined with the whitest sand you have ever seen, then head to the Whitsundays.

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.

A large crescent shape, Bondi Beach is a great place to watch the surfers. It's not the best place to learn to surf though as the waves are pretty unforgiving here. It's the perfect spot to watch the experts though.

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.

Seen enough? Would you like to know what the other 7 are? Perhaps you already have your favourite beach of Australia? Whatever you have in mind for your perfect beach, you are sure to find it in Australia.
