Three Australian beaches in world's top 25

Posted on by

Three Australian beaches have been voted among the best 25 in the world.

But not only did Sydney's iconic Bondi beach not make it onto the list, it didn't even make it onto the list of the top ten Australian beaches.

A travel website revealed the winners of its "Travellers' Choice" award for beaches, based on reviews and ratings for beaches on the site in the past 12 months.

Whitehaven Beach on Queensland's Whitsunday Island was named the best beach in Australia and the South Pacific, with international travellers ranking it the fifth best in the world.

"We are very excited that the Whitehaven Beach has taken out the top award and has been recognised as one of the best beaches in the world," Whitsundays Marketing and Development Ltd chief executive Danial Rochford said.

Turquoise Bay in Western Australia and Cable Beach, near Broome, were the other two Australian beaches in the world's top 25, coming in at No 20 and No 22 respectively.

Baia do Sancho beach in the Fernando de Noronha region of Brazil was rated as the best beach in the world - with the South American country the only other, apart from Australia, to have three beaches on TripAdvisor's top 25 list.

"For those dreading the start of winter, there's really no better cure than an escape to one of these award-winning beaches," the site's chief marketing officer Barbara Messing said.

According to TripAdvisor users however, Bondi was not worthy of a mention in Australia's top ten, despite overwhelmingly positive reviews on the website. Over 75 per cent of users rated the beach excellent or very good.

But beaches including Burleigh Heads Beach, Manly Beach and Cottesloe Beach all rated above the iconic strip of Sydney sand.

Beaches in danger of losing Blue Flag status

Beaches in danger of losing Blue Flag status

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

A number of the countrys best known beaches are expected to lose their Blue Flag status as a result of the devastation caused by recent storms.

Kilkee: Blue flag beach

By Dan Buckley

There are serious concerns for some candidate Blue Flag and Green Coast Award beaches that have been devastated by the recent storms particularly where infrastructure such as access roads, car parks and other amenities have been destroyed, said Annabel FitzGerald, manager of An Taisces coastal programmes.

These are among the 32 imperative criteria required to achieve Blue Flag status. The application deadline for applying for Blue Flag status was last December, before the worst of the storms hit.

Starting next week, we will be visiting a large number of beaches and it is likely that a number of them will have to have their applications for Blue Flag status withdrawn, said Ms FitzGerald.

This is the first time we have to do this but these storms are unprecedented. Every year there are some issues raised with one or two beaches, but never to this extent.

While she was reluctant to name any beach likely to lose its flag, she said she had written to local authorities nationwide, asking them to fill out a register of infrastructural damage.

BEST IN BRITAIN: The beach at Hengistbury Head

THREE of the best beaches in the country are right here on our doorstep in Dorset, according to a new poll published today.

Hengistbury Head in Bournemouth, Sandbanks in Poole and Weymouth Beach have been named in the UKs top ten beaches listed by the TripAdvisor company.

Chris Saunders, Bournemouth tourism seafront and business development manager, said: Bournemouth Tourism is delighted that Hengistbury Head has been named fourth best beach in the UK and 16th in Europe by Trip Advisors Annual Travellers Choice Beaches awards.

As a Special Area for Conservation, it is a stunning location for visitors and residents to see and spend time, with some great facilities including a cafe, watersports centre, and it will soon be home to a new 1.2m thatched visitor centre featuring interactive displays, which is opening this spring.

We are extremely pleased that it has been recognised for the beautiful beach that it is, complementing Bournemouths seven miles of award winning beach equipped with fantastic facilities and attractions, which make the town a brilliant beach destination for all ages.

Cllr Xena Dion, spokesman for Poole councils leisure and culture said: Our beaches are an extremely important part of our environment. Not only are they a major attraction for visitors but they work to protect against coastal erosion.

We work very hard to maintain our beaches to a high standard and it is fantastic that Sandbanks has been recognised as one of the countrys top 10 beaches in what is a very influential website.

7th-grader's effort paves way for smoke-free beaches

Posted on by

RYE - As soon as ballots were tallied last Tuesday night in Rye, Isabella Hillman took a deep breath, exhaled, and smiled.

Thanks to her efforts, thousands of beachgoers in her town might be able to do the same this summer.

Hillman, 12, led a petition drive to put a warrant article before voters, asking them to approve a nonbinding resolution declaring all town beaches smoke-free. Last Tuesday, residents of Rye complied, approving her Article 24, 1,193 to 471.

"It was great to be able to make a difference like that," said Hillman, a seventh-grader at Rye Junior High School. "My friends and I love to go to the beach, and there's always someone smoking there and we don't like it. Plus, most of the litter picked up off beaches are cigarette butts. This will help."

Hillman said after she decided to take on the task of a smoking ban on local beaches, she approached the Rye Civic League for advice on how to go about it.

"They explained to me everything I needed to do," said Hillman. "They were a big help right from the start."

Hillman gathered 40 signatures for her petition, 15 more than required to have it go before selectmen for placement on the town's warrant. She then addressed the town's deliberative session, successfully advocating for its placement on the ballot.

"She spent months on this," said her father, Steve. "She's a straight-A student, a very determined person. The passion, the drive she needed to get this done . I don't know where it comes from because I don't have it. We're very proud of her."

The smoking ban received the full backing of the town's selectmen and Budget Committee.

According to Rye Police Chief Kevin Walsh, because Article 24 is a nonbinding resolution that declares all nine town beach areas as smoke-free zones, signs will be posted asking beachgoers not to smoke, but they will not face a penalty or fine if they do.

Dozens of Britain's best loved beaches face shutdown because sewage pipes have been hooked up to storm drains … so …

Beaches at some of Britain's best-loved resorts could be closed for bathing from next year because of high levels of sewage contamination.

Water quality at popular stretches of coast including Blackpool, Scarborough and Clacton has failed to meet minimum standards.

Now EU rules mean 45 beaches face having to put up signs marking them as unfit for bathing from next year unless expensive steps are taken to remove sources of contamination, it emerged yesterday.

Blackpool Beach is one of 45 that could be declared unfit for bathing from next year under EU rules

Swimmers who ignore the signs would face the risk of going home with an ear, nose or throat infection, or even gastroenteritis.

All Gold Coast beaches closed as large swells hit

Posted on by

GOLD Coast City Council lifeguards weekend supervisor Anthony Lunney said large swells had forced the closure of beaches across the Coast, with only a couple of swimming spots considered safe.

We have a pretty big swell hitting the Coast at the moment and it is unfortunate that it has hit on a pretty hot and muggy day when everybody wants to come to the beach and go for a swim, he said.

Currumbin Creek and Tallebudgera Creek are the best places and the roads are really busy heading south.

We cant force people out of the water, we can only advised them that the beaches are closed and that they are swimming at their own risk.

Swells are reaching 1.8 metres at most beaches on the Coast, but Mr Lunney said little damage had been done.

The swell is supposed to peak today before dropping a bit tomorrow and should hopefully be back to normal by Tuesday, he said.

The beaches have held up pretty well.

Rough conditions at Kirra caused organisers to relocate the Queensland Nipper Titles to Currumbin Creek this morning.

Organisers will monitor conditions throughout the day, as high seas are predicted.
