Australia Beach

Beaches in Australia

Australia is the worlds largest island. Completely surrounded by ocean and spectacular beaches. By far the most famous beaches are those located along the Great Barrier Reef and on the Whitsunday Islands. How ever there are fantastic beaches all around Australia. For instance in Western Australia, the north coast is home to the Coral Coast and in the south is the fantastic crystal clear waters of Esperance and Bremer Bay.

Starting in Queensland, home of the Great Barrier Reef. Queensland has some of the most spectacular beaches and is home to fantastic array of marine corals and life. In the north coast of Queensland is the holiday destination of Cairns here lies tropical beaches such as Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. Heading south you have Airlie beach the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands. Located on the Whitsunday Islands is the world famous Whitehaven Beach, with squeaky white sand this beach is only for the day trippers.

New South Wales is home to Bondi Beach, Bondi is famous amongst Australians as it is where you are most likely to spot a local celebrity. Probably Australia's busiest beach it also hosts a Television show dedicated to its hard working life guards 'Bondi Rescue'.

Victoria is known for amazing surf along the Great Ocean Road, this is a road which runs along the western coast of Victoria from Torquay to Apollo Bay. Between these to spots are some of the most amazing surf spots including the world famous Bells Beach home of the Rip Curl Pro. There are also some brilliant tourist towns to stay at during your trip.

South Australia hosts the Great Australian Bite, with some great fishing. The surf isn't to bad either. Back to the West. Western Australia is not where most people would first head for Australia's Best Beaches, though maybe they should. Bremer Bay in the states south has the whitest sand in the whole of Australia, although with cooler temperatures many still choose to go to Queenslands Whitehaven instead. In the north are the beaches of Shark Bay, Coral Bay and Exmouth these are the three most travelled to spots for those wishing to witness the Ningaloo Reef. The Ningaloo Reef is the only place in the world where you can see Whale Sharks.

A trip along Australia's rugged coast line is a must for those wanting to see unusual marine life, crystal clear waters, white sand, amazing surf and of course the odd coconut tree.
