Little Salmon Bay, Rottnest Island, Western Australia

Australia is home to many incredible beaches, and it’s one of the main reasons why people visit here! From excellent surfing spots to whale watching sights to tropical island life, there’s so much to see and enjoy from one of the best beaches in Australia.

In case you didn’t know, Australia’s coastline stretches for 50,000 kilometers and is linked by over 10,000 beaches. That’s a lot of beaches!

But what are the best beaches in Australia? What can you simply not miss on a trip Down Under? This guide reveals 46 of the best Australian beaches that should not be missed.

Does Australia Have Nice Beaches?

Australia’s landscape is some of the most diverse and beautiful in the world. Sure we have the Outback, cosmopolitan cities, and charming country towns, but it’s the beach lifestyle that sets Australia apart.

It’s the smell and taste of salt water. The sun’s rays on your back. The sand between your toes. The smell of sunscreen being applied to your face. The cool breeze that blows on a hot day. Beach side BBQ’s and picnics on the grass. Reading a book or listening to tunes. Thongs (flip flops) board shorts and a singlet. A towel over the shoulder. A morning walk or a sunset drink. Building sandcastles with the kids. Body surfing and beach cricket. Smiling faces and tanned skin.

After traveling around Australia for 18 months, I have lost count of the amount of Australia’s best beaches I set foot on.

Each and every one of them is special and unique in their own way, but there’s one thing they all have in common – they’re all undeniably beautiful.

No words needed. I mean, just look at that scene! The turquoise water, the corals, and the sand that’s so white it blinds you. And no it’s not the Great Barrier Reef.

Rottnest Island is located 18 kilometers off the coast of Perth, and if you only visit one beach on “Rotto” make it THE BASIN.

Bring your snorkeling gear!
