Australian Beachs



                                  Beach

1. Burleigh Heads, Australia
 
Burleigh Heads

Burleigh Heads, a beachside town in Queensland famous for its ideal surfing conditions, is the location for many pro surfing competitions. There’s also shopping and dining galore, from major stores to beachfront markets and food shacks to fine restaurants. A holiday in Burleigh Heads is not complete without a trip to the Burleigh National Park. Enjoy the lush rainforest flora, brush turkeys and extensive views of the ocean and skyline. On the southern part of Burleigh Mountain is Tallebudgera Creek, known for good fishing, kayaking and canoeing.

2. Byron Bay, Australia
 
Watagos Beach

Byron Bay's beaches are dotted with lighthouses and surrounded by bottlenose dolphins, rays, whales and sea turtles. This former New South Wales whaling station turned tourist town is still strongly influenced by its recent bohemian past, when hippie lifestyles flourished. Bongos and didgeridoos sound in parks, sarongs and dreadlocks are common, and vegetarian restaurants abound. Give in to the casual vibe and stroll between beaches and bars for a low-key and happy day.

3. Coolangatta, Australia
 

You don't have to be a surfer to love the Gold Coast and Coolangatta. Locals and tourists all love the area's clean, patrolled beaches and photo-ready vantage points. You might not be able to pick a favourite among the beaches here, but is that so bad?


4. Broome, Australia
 
Northern Beach

Exceptionally pristine and beautiful beaches surround the very relaxed Broome. Among the most popular is Cable Beach, which boasts gentle, rolling waves. Visitors can enjoy a camel ride on the shorelines of Cable Beach to take in the tranquil scenery. In the summer, the red-sanded Roebuck Bay, located on the eastern shore, is home to migratory shorebirds from Siberia. Another important spot for migratory birds is the famous Eighty Mile Beach. The wildlife viewing, endless stretches of pristine white sand, vibrant turquoise waters and awe-inspiring sunsets entice visitors to “slip into Broometime,” the local motto.


5. Noosa, Australia

Noosa is a world-famous surfing destination, known for its expansive beaches and colourful bays. Hike across Noosa National Park's cliffs and forests, canoe through the Noosa River Everglades, kayak across the open sea or just bask in the sunshine on golden sand that stretches and sparkles for miles. A day trip to nearby Fraser Island, a World Heritage Site where lush rainforests mingle with dry sand dunes, is a unique experience not to be missed.

6.Sydney, Australia
 
The Velocity

With dozens of stunning ocean beaches within half an hour of downtown, there are few better urban beach destinations than Sydney. Famed Bondi Beach sees up to 40,000 on busy weekends. If quieter beaches appeal, take the coastal walk past smaller strands all the way to Coogee's calmer sands.

  7.Broadbeach, Australia

Not far from the vibrant Surfers Paradise is the calm and collected Broadbeach, a refuge of honey-coloured sands. The Gold Coast town boasts incredible dining, thumping nightclubs, homey taverns and impressive shopping. Risk-takers and thrill-seekers can press their luck at the Conrad Jupiters Casino.

The aptly-named Surfers Paradise is just that—a haven for those who pay homage to the gods of the sea by attempting to become one with the waves. The beach here is a golden stretch of soft sand that provides the perfect ambiance for a day of catching waves, catching a Frisbee or just catching some rays. Refuel at one of Surfers Paradise's 150 restaurants and cafes, or hit a Northside day spa to soothe your surf-weary muscles and smooth your sun-kissed skin
