GET BEACHED (clockwise from below left) Beaches don’t get any more iconic than Bondi. Sun, sand
and crystal clear water in Koh Samui, Thailand. Pure and perfect in Mt Maunganui, New Zealand. Another spectacular day dawns on Surfers Paradise. Even the tress relax and take it easy in Hainan, China.
Bondi Beach
New South Wales, Australia
If you’re looking for a beach full of things to
do, there is nowhere better to go than Sydney’s Bondi Beach. One of the world’s most famous beaches, Bondi Beach offers visitors everything from surf competitions to beachside coffee shops. With about 1km of the world’s softest sand, Bondi Beach is definitely one stop that any visitor to Australia has to make.
Whitehaven Beach
Queensland, Australia
Located on Whitsunday Island in Queensland, Whitehaven Beach has been voted by many visitors as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Few who have walked on its baby powder white sand will argue against its magnificence.
Cable Beach
Western Australia, Australia
If you’re looking for a beach that combines culture and a tropical resort atmosphere then Cable Beach in Western Australia is the ultimate destination. Cable Beach is known for its Chinese and Japanese pearl divers and great views of the sunset.
Wineglass Bay
Tasmania, Australia
Anyone looking for a bit of adventure will welcome the search for this isolated little beach. Located in Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay is shaped like a perfect smile.
Hyams Beach
New South Wales, Australia
If your desire is to catch a glimpse of some
of Australia’s wildlife, then Hyams Beach just three hours south of Sydney in Jervis Bay New South Wales is probably right up your alley.
Bells Beach
Victoria, Australia

Piha Beach
West Auckland, New Zealand
The birthplace of Malibu board riding in New Zealand, Piha is the country’s most famous
surfing beach. It’s rugged cliffs frame the sea while the commanding Lion Rock stands guard and the lush bush of the Waitakere Ranges provide plenty of opportunity for exploration, walking and picnicking.
Kaiteriteri Beach
Nelson, New Zealand
A short drive from the Nelson Township, picturesque Kaiteriteri is decidedly the best beach in the South Island of New Zealand. Golden sand and the highest rate of sunshine hours in New Zealand mean Kaiteriteri Beach has all the prerequisites for an idyllic seaside experience.
Ocean Beach
Mount Maunganui, New Zealand
Mount Maunganui is something of an oddity in that it has both an ocean beach and a harbour beach, Pilot Bay. The placid harbour beach
is good for swimming while Ocean Beach is more dramatic, and popular for surfing and bodysurfing. For good reason, Mount Maunganui is dubbed “Surf City.”
