Best Beach Activities In Australia

12 Apostles - South Australia

The huge length of the coastline and warm water have long been 'a business card' of Australia, so not visiting the beaches of the mainland is simply an unforgivable mistake. There are more than 10,000 beaches on mainland Australia and many more on the uninhabited islands around the country. The number of beaches and cozy sandy coves on the small islands is innumerable.

Most Australian beaches simply don't have any names. There are so many of them that it hardly makes sense to give a name to each one. In length, beaches can be from 20 meters to hundreds of kilometers.

In this article, we will try to tell you about the top beach activities in Australia.

1. Gambling

Yes, exactly gambling. Surprised? If you didn’t know, Australia is one of the top countries in terms of the number of players in online casinos. Therefore, you can find a lot of cool online gambling platforms like playfina casino au with thousands of games and various bonus offers. Just imagine how you are immersed in the atmosphere of a real casino with live dealers, and, at the same time, you don't have to comply with a dress code and leave the beach. You can freely place your bets while sipping your cool cocktail and lying on a sun lounger under the bright Australian sun.

2. Surfing

Surfing is a great way to relax with health benefits. Many enthusiasts cross half the world to come to Australia specifically for surfing. The peculiarity of Australian surfing is its wide variety of waves; here you can find any type of wave.

If you want to experience truly authentic surfing on an Australian beach, then Bells Beach in Victoria is worth mentioning first. Its main competitor is the beach in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. World-class surfing competitions take place here. If you want even more crowded beaches filled with surfers, then go to Surfers Paradise or Currumbin in Queensland. Don't worry if you are a beginner. You can easily find yourself an experienced local instructor.

3. Standup paddle boarding

This is another popular type of activity on Australia's beaches. SUP is great for people who aren't into extreme sports, but who love activity. One of the differences between modern regular surfing and standup paddle boarding is that the latter doesn't require waves. SUP can be done in the open sea, on a lake, on a river, or in any large body of water. It can be easily mastered by adults and children. Anyone who has ever tried this activity immediately wonders where to buy their personal SUP.

4. Beach volleyball

Well, of course, how can you do without this beach activity in Australia? Local beaches and perfect sand attract you to take part in a volleyball game. A huge number of locals form teams and organize competitions. Why not? After all, Australia has wonderful weather and beautiful beaches.

5. Diving and snorkeling

If you are a diving enthusiast, then you can dive anywhere with no special restrictions. You just need to follow the announcements. Sometimes diving is prohibited due to jellyfish. But if you still really want to swim underwater or snorkel, you can go to the islands beyond Queensland, to the Great Dividing Range, Whitsunday Islands, and Hinchinbrook Island. There are practically no problems with jellyfish there. And this is where professional divers spend most of their time.

What other beach activities are available in Australia?

There are a huge number of activity options. You can have a barbecue on the beach or take a yacht ride and admire the dolphins and fjords. Kite surfing, windsurfing, and sandboarding are available for sports lovers. If you don’t want to immerse yourself in sports activities, you can do something useful, for example, cleaning up rubbish known as ‘taking three for the sea’.

In Australia, everyone will find a beach activity to their liking. Have a nice beach holiday!
