IT'S probably fair to say that as an island nation with a coastline of more than 30,000km, the beach has a special place in the hearts of most Aussies. <\/p>\n
From old-fashioned family beaches to romantic hidden coves, there are more than 10,685 beaches in Australia to choose from. <\/p>\n
Here are 10 to get you started. <\/p>\n
1. Lucky Bay Beach <\/p>\n
With 5km of white sand and crystal-clear water, the beach at Lucky Bay is a marketer's dream. Yet, this West Australian gem is relatively unknown. Hidden in the windswept wilderness of Cape le Grand National Park, the beach is a haven for wildlife and it's not unusual to spot kangaroos lying on the sand. As it's in a national park, there are bushwalks with scenic coastal views and a campground with good facilities. <\/p>\n
2. Bottle Bay Beach<\/p>\n
3. Secret Beach <\/p>\n
A Victorian secret in Mallacoota, Gippsland, this secluded beach is a patch of coastal paradise near the NSW border. You might have trouble finding Secret Beach on a map and the only way to reach it is by foot, from a staircase near a parking area on Betka Rd. The beach is a picture of tranquillity, with lovely rock pools and a small sea cave that is accessible during low tide. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
