Australians love to spend time at the beach -
it is part of our culture!

"In Australia you will find people at the beach somewhere every day of the week."

THE BEACH

Australia is a very large island landmass - and we are placed in the southern hemisphere below the equator, boarded by three of the world's great Ocean's; The Pacific, The Indian and The Great Southern Ocean.

Much of Australia's population live on the coastline and as such the beach or the beaches are very special and occupies a unique place in the Australian identity. The Australian beaches are world-renowned and as such people come from many countries to enjoy them and take pleasure in meeting and mixing with the locals.

Surfing Beaches As a point of interest there are over 10,000 beaches here and Australians take full advantage of them, Most city people live close enough to a beach to go there regularly and others travel some distances to enjoy the beach for a days relaxation or for their annual holidays. There is a fantastic moving sea-loving population, the surfers and people who enjoy the beach for, among other things, just swimming or parasailing, fishing - snorkeling, scuba diving - beach combing and much more. The Australian coastline is beautiful and attracts Australians and international guests alike and you can spend months sight-seeing - with some taking the scenic drives while others pulling caravans stick to the coastline. We also cruise above them in planes and helicopters - coaches - four wheel drives and some of just like to walk for miles along them. Coastal sight-seeing is a very popular pursuit and you will be amazed at some of our hiking trails that follow some of our beaches and coast-lines.

Australian beaches all over the country attract people from everywhere for special occasion, like the crowds that gather for New Year's Eve parties and celebrations. It is amazing that most Christmas Days attract up to 40,000 to Sydney's Bondi Beach every year.

The Australian Beaches are a must to visit
