and declared what they believe are the best 10 beaches in Australia. Considering there are thousands of sandy spots dotted around the country’s coastlines, whittling it down to a mere top 10 is not an enviable task. It also means there’s a pretty high chance your local dip absolutely didn’t make the cut, so prepare your arguments accordingly. The top beach in Australia — according to the experts — is found at Stokes Bay on Karta Pintingga country (Kangaroo Island) in South Australia. Considering the place was , it’s a huge moment to be considered  best spot for a little dip in the country. Farmer said Stokes Bay was picked for being family-friendly and a gorgeous place to wade out and snorkel around with its “aquarium-like atmosphere”. Makes sense when it looks like this. Bloody hell. It’s also the first time a South Australian beach has taken out the top spot so congrats to you lot over there in glorious Adelaide. Boomerang Beach on Worimi country in NSW’s north coast, which is about a three-hour drive north of Sydney, came in a narrow second for the best sand-swept swimming spots of 2023. Look as someone who grew up three hours  of Sydney I’m extremely biased in saying that our beaches are just as good if not better. This is south coast erasure (but also happy for you lot up near Forster, I bet it’s bonkers in the summer holidays for you too). For all you Sydneysiders worried about whether any of the city’s finest made the cut, you’ll be pleased to know one (1) has snuck its way into the 10th spot. None other than Balmoral Beach on Gadigal, Borogegal and Cammeraygal land managed to get a look in this year amongst all the white sands and tropical shorelines. Its super popular tidal pool helped it get a leg up and — despite not being technically part of Balmoral — Farmer gave a shoutout to unofficial nudie beach Obelisk Beach, too. Just in case you wanted to know. Peep the full top 10 list of best beaches in Australia below and start planning your beachy bucket list road trip already.
