There’s always a beach nearby…

As you may be aware, Australia is an island.

And as most of us live near the coast, there’s always a beach nearby.

But then again, sometimes we don’t live near the coast and the beach can be quite a long way away.

As you may also be aware, Australia is a pretty big place.

Anyway, whether you live at Bondi or are from the back ‘o Bourke, or even if you’re visiting our shores from Barcelona, all of us here want to visit the beach at some stage, coz Aussie beaches is simply the best.

But which beach? I hear you ask…

Well, that depends…

Whether its breathtaking natural beauty you’re looking for, or people watching and making friends at some of our most popular beaches, or perhaps a more uncrowded and tranquil place. Somewhere to hang 10 and catch a wave, a calm bay or inlet to paddle with the kids, a wide open beach to give the dog a workout, or maybe you’re chasing compact, flat sand with good bounce for the perfect game of beach cricket!

Don’t fret, no matter what you’re looking for, there’s a beach for you!

Bays, islands, city beaches, a day out with the kids, a romantic escapade… you get the idea.

Enough already, just get me to the beach!
