Top beaches to visit in Australia
- Set sail for the Whitsunday Islands that define the perfect beach tour in Australi. Here, the pure white sands of Whitehaven Beach provide the perfect backdrop for a couple of days of fun in the sun and in the warm coral-strewn waters.
- Head to Bells Beach in the aptly-named Surf Coast Shire, the start of the Great Ocean Road and a great place to watch pro-surfers doing their thing in the waves.
- Get up close and personal with the bottlenose dolphins of Monkey Mia on Australia’s West Coast. These impossibly cute creatures have been coming right into the shallows several times a day for more than half a century.
- Drop by the world’s largest sand island, Fraser Island, where you can try your hand at off-road driving while being watched by the only truly wild population of dingoes in Australia. Afterward, relax in the natural baths known as the Champagne Pools.
- Jump on a surfboard in Byron Bay, a year-round destination for those seeking the perfect wave or simply looking to flop down on a towel and soak up the sun’s rays for some much-needed rest and recuperation.
