The coast of Australia is famous for its long coastline: you can enjoy a beach vacation here on the mainland at more than 10,000 beaches, as well as, if you wish, swim in 800 places located on 30 uninhabited islands surrounding Australia.
Australia's coastal resorts (holiday benefits)
For scuba diving, take a look at the Great Barrier Reef (Lizard Island), the Western (Ningaloo Reef) and South Coasts (Dangerous Reef) of Australia. Do you want to go canoeing and rafting? You can implement your plan, for example, on the Nimboyda River. And those eager to enjoy the warm ocean, gentle sun and relaxation on the 42-kilometer gold-sandy beach should pay attention to the Gold Coast. It is worth noting that here you can play with kangaroos, go to one of the golf courses and feed the sharks.
