With its long days of sunshine, thousands of miles of coastline and easy-going culture Australia offers some of the best beach-based experiences in the world. Start in Sydney, a fabulous city in its own right with its iconic Opera House and harbour, and home to world-famous Bondi Beach. Still in the state of New South Wales is Byron Bay, one of the most celebrated surf beaches in the country and ideal for scuba diving. Then onto the Gold Coast, just south of the city of Brisbane; more metropolitan and home to miles of sandy beaches and fantastic surfing. Lastly to Perth, Western Australia, for the golden blonde sands of Cottesloe and Leighton beaches.
