The 5 Best Beaches in Australia.
That’s a big ask! First we need to define what constitutes a beach that can be considered for this list. I am not talking about the longest or widest or most sandy etc, etc. By the way, the longest beach probably is the Coorong from Kingston to the Murray River mouth in SA. It is over 150km long. I did that with the boys some 15 years ago in my great GQ Nissan Patrol. That was a decent trip.
I would say that some of the defining criteria for the top 5 might be: (I would love to hear from readers what some of the other defining criteria might be).
- At least 1km long with a sandy beach of decent width at low-tide,
- Not dangerous to human life; ie no crocodiles, blue ring octopus, Box Jelly fish,
- Attractive natural setting ie defining natural beauty or pleasing features,
- Definitely not overdeveloped or overrun by human beings,
Top 5:
I cannot name all 5 beaches that deserve to be in this list. I have not seen 5 such beaches. However I have been on one beach that definitely fits the bill.
So my first beach would be Cable Beach in Broome WA. I have been there several times.
Then I have two more beaches that might make the list.
The first could be the beach at Woodgate Qld. between the Theodolite creek and the Barrum river. It is just sensational, stunning and has a chill factor when you are there.
The other beach is at Lammermoor on the Capricorn coast south of Yeppoon. I wonder what other readers may think.
So…….I can propose only these:
- Cable Beach, Broome, WA
- Wood gate Beach Qld
- Wineglass Beach Tasmania https://www.google.com.au/search?q=wineglass+beach+tasmania&biw=1366&bih=639&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CEMQsARqFQoTCOK3hM–38gCFQblpgodRzMKdg
