Australia’s number one beach for 2020 has been announced

Bondi didn’t even crack the top 20. - by Laura Barry
  • 16 Dec 2019

WATCH: Do you know which Aussie beach was uploaded to Instagram the most last year? 

Spending the school holidays swimming at the beach or chilling out at the shack is a quintessential part of the Australian summer. Whether you love the big, busting beaches like Bondi and Gold Coast beach, or the quiet sands of Tasmania’s Bay of Fires, there’s a beach for everyone.

However, Tourism Australia has teamed up with author Brad Farmer to write the book 1010 Best Australian Beaches, which identifies the number one beach in Australia.

Brad Farmer claims to have experienced 4000 of Australia’s 12,000 beaches in his lifetime, and chose the best beach based on what was affordable, accessible and authentic.

Cabarita Beach in Northern NSW was named as Australia’s number one beach for 2020.
