With over 10,000 beaches framing Australia's mainland and islands, author Celeste Mitchell has scoured the coastline and in this book she shares her top 80 beaches. You'll find a curation of the big names and lesser-known spots that beckon you for days on the sand, whether you're on the hunt for world-class surf breaks or rock pools to explore with the kids, crystal-clear lagoons or the chance to dive under and meet the curious creatures who live below. With detailed information on what makes each beach special, when to go, whether it's dog friendly or appropriate for families, and how accessible it is for all visitors, the guide also highlights must-do nearby attractions and experiences so you can select the best beach for your next day trip, weekend away or ultimate tropical holiday.
