Worlds Best Beaches

best australian beach

Australia [East Coast]:
- North Stradbroke Island, near Brisbane, for wildlife walks, quiet beaches and good surf.
- Noosa Heads, Sunshine Coast, soft sand, parks and surf.
- Fraser Island's Lake McKenzie; clear freshwater
embraced by rainforest and the purest white sand.
- Whitehaven, Whitsunday Islands, 6km of powder sand and turquoise water. Considered to be Australia's best beach by some but not by Bugbog - too far out mate! And what about the jellies?

August to the end of October is the hurricane season and though hurricanes are uncommon, rain is not, the humidity can be oppressive, water may be choppy, unclear and sand swathed in weed.

No, not just yet, though you could risk it. See above, Caribbean.

Thailand beaches: or see Thailand Beach Pictures, Thailand Travel Guide, Beaches Map
May - Oct is the worst time to go, particularly on the west coast due to heavy rains.
