Some of the Most Beautiful Coasts in the Land Down Under

Australia - what usually comes into mind, whenever you see or hear this word? Do you think about koala bears and kangaroos? Can you picture out the Sydney Opera House? Well, these are some of the country’s best features. But do you know that the Land Down Under is also famous for over 11,000 beaches?

Yes, it has that much array of coastal attractions, which makes it a bit confusing to choose an ideal destination. However, you do not have to worry much, as the short list below tells you which shorelines in the nation are the most attractive.

1. Scott's Head

Found 500 kilometres north of Sydney, it is a less expensive option, which makes it a favourite among many locals and some foreign holidaymakers. Additionally, it is close to other tourist spots, such as Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, which you can check out along the way. It also has a well-equipped camping and recreation site as well as great surfing breaks and fishing areas.

2. Green's Pool

Situated in the William Bay National Park, it boasts of white dunes and a peaceful atmosphere owing to the privacy provided by round boulders. If you are travelling with your partner, this is a good location for your romantic walk. You can head out to the Elephant Cove, which gets its name from the huge rocks that look so much like elephants.

3. Jan Juc

Located in the southeastern coast, rugged cliffs flank it on all sides. It gets its name from the fossil of an extinct whale species, Janjucetus hunderi, which a surfer discovered in the late 90s. Many surfers are familiar with it, while most people know it for the discovery.

As mentioned, the list is short. But apart from these examples, many locals and tourists usually go to Lucky Bay in Western Australia, Hyams Beach (with white sand) in New South Wales, and Whitehaven in Whitsundays.
