Bond-eye. Like the James Bond movie Golden Eye.
It's a nice if stupidly expensive spot.
Bit on the nose with the rest of Australia right now with Bondi residents flouting covid restrictions leading to NSW's 1500 odd covid cases today.
Ermm... lets not start that little fight. Lets just say Noosa better than Bondi and move on.
Wineglass Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Period. Not developed and destroyed. Interestingly it isn't just the shape that recalls the bowl shape of the bottom of a wineglass, but the sea there also used to run red with blood as this is where whalers used to bring their catch in the old days - whale migration coming straight past this point up the east coast of Australia, and the gentle slope and sandy bottom made it really easy for sailors to bring their catch in and not damage their boats landing them.
That whole area, Coles Bay, Bicheno, Swansea... all just beautiful. If you're ever in Tassie that area is a must see.
Gold Coast. Yeah, if we're doing a Miami Vice Australian style it's set there. It already has all the drugs and crime it needs. Pity really, because the Gold Coast hinterland is beautiful. Check out O'Reilly's and Springbrook Falls. Beautiful places without some bikie trying to deal you some meth or some crackhead in a TapOut t shirt trying to coward punch ya.
If you love offroading along the beach, you need to check out Fraser Island. It's like god designed it for that reason. Stockton Beach is pretty awesome too. South West Tasmania is awesome for that stuff too.
As to how these are the best 20, I really don't know. I'm looking at Altona and Elwood and thinking people just rushed it, much as I used to love a winter fire and a bottle of Stones Green ginger Wine on the beach at Black Rock.
How the hell is Fraser Island or Stockton Beach not on this list? Port Willunga? Low Head? Mount Martha? Rottnest Island?
So many beaches to see.
