The green continent, it would seem, is not the very near light and a budget option for a beach holiday, but those who want to sunbathe there are also in the Russian expanses with enviable constancy. They are not embarrassed by either 20 hours of clean flight, or the prices of air tickets, which can hardly be called humane, or the rather confusing process of obtaining a visa. And now more and more lucky ones go on a beach vacation to Australia - a country far and mysterious, unique and original.
Where to go to sunbathe?
When asked where is the best place to sunbathe and swim in Australia, any local aborigine will answer that on the east coast. There are two largest resort areas here, each of which has a lot of advantages over all the beaches in the world:
- Even those who have never seen scuba gear live have heard about the Great Barrier Reef. This natural phenomenon is found in the Coral Sea off the northeast coast of Australia. Beach holidays at the local resorts are chosen with equal success by both very wealthy tourists and citizens who are simply in love with diving, who do not care where to sleep and what to eat. However, from the presence of a solid press of bills in the wallet and the latter, no one exempted.
- The Gold Coast near Brisbane City is ideal for serene beach holidays almost all year round. Hotels here can be found both quite budgetary and fashionable, and therefore the public on the Gold Coast is the most variegated.
Weather features of a beach holiday in Australia
The swimming season in its usual sense does not exist on the Gold Coast. The water temperature even in July does not drop below + 19 ° С, and in January it reaches + 25 ° С. The air warms up to + 22 ° С and + 28 ° С, respectively.
The hot subequatorial climate in the resorts of the Great Barrier Reef is characterized by high humidity, which is quite easily tolerated due to the sea breezes. The best time for a beach holiday in Australia in these latitudes is winter and early spring. On the green continent located in the Southern Hemisphere, this period is from late May to the second half of October.
The northern coast of the continent is not very suitable for swimming from late October to early May. At this time, the waters are full of poisonous jellyfish.
Diving Paradise
The largest formation on the planet created by living organisms is called the Great Barrier Reef. It stretches along the Australian coast for hundreds of kilometers and has become the reason for the construction of many hotels on the northeast coast of the continent.
Luxurious and fashionable beach resorts in Australia in the Great Barrier Reef - the Richards Islands (Bedarra) opposite the Hull River and Hyman National Park, consistently ranked in the top ten beach resorts in the world. More democratic in terms of prices for hotels and entertainment - the islands of Hamilton, Keppel and Dunk.
The best diving in Australia is Heron Island at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. The local hotel is also suitable for gourmets, helicopter riders, bird watchers and anglers.
Resorts Winner Best Outdoor Fun - Lizard Island. Swimming in the clear waters surrounding it with snorkel and mask will give you an amazing experience of communicating with marine life.
On the crest of a wave
Reviews of tourists vacationing on the Gold Coast are full of admiring epithets. Surfers are especially trying, because the waves at local resorts allow you to get a dose of adrenaline in between sunbathing and trips on exciting excursions.
The Gold Coast is conventionally divided into three areas:
- The central part of the coast is called Surfers Paradise. Most of the beach infrastructure is concentrated here, skyscraper hotels soar into the sky, and nightclubs do not let fans of noisy entertainment get bored for a minute.
- Main Beach is relatively calm, very cool and quite expensive. Local hotels compete for stars on their facades, and shopping centers are famous for price tags that look more like phone numbers.
- The average traveler can find an affordable hotel in the Broad Beach area, where there are modest "treshki" and restaurants, where dining will not seriously damage the family budget.
Beach photos of tourists vacationing in Australia are invariably full of sun, turquoise sea, white sand and beautiful sunrises. And what else does a person need who decides to get from winter to summer and has flown half the world for this?
