Any backpacker who has been to Australia will be familiar with the east coast. A well-worn tourist trail carves its way along the coastline from far north Queensland, through New South Wales, and down to Victoria in the south. When people say they\u2019re going to an Australian beach, they mean they\u2019re going to one on its east coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it makes sense. Compared to the rest of Australia, the east coast is almost dense<\/em>. The seaside towns and cities are closely dotted together and feature solid tourist infrastructure \u2014 hostels are a dime a dozen, and getting from A to B is a piece of cake. On top of that, the coastline is stunning, with opportunities to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, tour Sydney Harbour by bicycle<\/a>, take a day trip from Melbourne<\/a>, and catch a wave at Bondi Beach (as just a handful of the headliners).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with over 10,000 known beaches making up this nation\u2019s particularly wet border, to visit Australia and ignore everything but the east coast is to do yourself a serious disservice. It\u2019s like buying a cake but only eating the icing. Sure, it\u2019s delicious, but there\u2019s so much more to be enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where<\/em>, you might ask, should I be heading?<\/em> Well, having lived there all my life, I feel like I\u2019m pretty well-placed to let you know. Here, in no particular order, are four non-touristy beaches that I guarantee<\/em> will beat anything served up by the east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almonta Beach (South\u00a0Australia)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Almonta
Almonta Beach, Coffin Bay National Park, South Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Found at the southern tip of South Australia\u2019s Eyre Peninsula, the township of Coffin Bay<\/a> is, during the working week at least, a sleepy oyster-shucking village of 600 or so. But with Coffin Bay National Park<\/a>, and in particular, Almonta Beach<\/a>, just a short drive away, the population often triples on warm and sunny weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the well-worn path carved out by visiting vehicles, Almonta Beach remains one of the last of the perfectly untouched Australian beaches. Throw a stone around here and you\u2019re likely to hit some form of wildlife (so put down the pebbles<\/em>), from the dolphins playing in the crystal clear water to the kangaroos that bound down the sand. This is a favourite haunt of surfers too, with imposing breaks pumping in from the Southern Ocean. Almonta faces directly towards Antarctica, so, while it\u2019s admittedly a fair way away, don\u2019t be surprised if the water\u2019s a little brisk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cable Beach (Western Australia)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sunset
Sunset camel ride, Cable Beach, Broome, Australia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a telegraph cable was laid between the Western Australian outpost of Broome and the Indonesian island of Java in 1889, the piece of sand that formed its beginning (or its end, I\u2019m not a cable expert) was named after the mega infrastructure effort, resulting in an underwhelming name for an overwhelming place. They really should\u2019ve run with Holy Sh*t Beach <\/em>or Are You Seeing What I\u2019m F***ing Seeing Bay<\/em>. It was a more restrained time, I suppose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cable Beach<\/a> is 22 km \u2014 almost 14 miles \u2014 of white sandy Australian beach goodness. If you get from one end to the other, congrats, you\u2019ve officially completed a half marathon. Gantheaume Point<\/a>, at the beach\u2019s southern tip, is a non-stop wildlife-fest of dolphins, migrating whales, and freakin\u2019 dinosaur footprints <\/em>hidden in rocks exposed at low tide. Throw your leg over a camel at sunrise or sunset, and bask in Mother Nature\u2019s handiwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be aware that no less than 17 km (10.5 mi) of beach is clothing optional, and if you do choose to let it all hang out, it\u2019s wise to keep your more precious bits away from the water during stinger season \u2014 box jellyfish rule these waters from November to April. Happily, this is also wet season and most visitors come during the other, sunnier half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wineglass Bay (Tasmania)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Wineglass
Wineglass Bay, Freycinet National Park, Tasmania Australia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of all Australia\u2019s untamed wildernesses, Tasmania<\/a> serves up some of the rawest \u2014 the type that slaps you in the face and doesn\u2019t apologise (and<\/em> you sort of like it?<\/em>). And nowhere is Tassie\u2019s natural beauty more BDSM than Wineglass Bay<\/a> in Freycinet National Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freycinet is a mountainous, rocky, tree-covered delight found on the east coast of Tassie. Halfway down this peninsula, the aggressive pink granite coastline collapses away into seemingly nothing. But on closer inspection, this nothing isn\u2019t nothing at all. In fact, it\u2019s quite something<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wineglass Bay is a perfectly protected Australian beach filled with tranquil waters of piercing blue. Where the gentle waves lap the shore your eyes are met by a stunning crescent of pure white sand, sandwiched between the turquoise of the ocean and the emerald of the surrounding scrub. Here you\u2019ll find wildlife too; wallabies (the smaller, cuter version of a kangaroo) laze in the sun, and the water is brimming with action. Remember that this is Australia\u2019s southernmost state, which means that it\u2019s the coldest, so swimmers should be prepared for icy pain most of the year. But this is Tasmania, so maybe you like it that way.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cape Le Grand Beach (Western Australia)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"
Wallaby on the beach, Cape Le Grand Beach, Cape Le Grand, Australia. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Any Australian beach has a one in 10,000 chance of being the best. Not great odds<\/em>. But according to a recent poll<\/a>, that\u2019s the exact title that Cape Le Grand<\/a>, a seemingly endless stretch of white on Western Australia\u2019s southern coastline, currently holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you arrive, there\u2019ll be no doubt as to why. An Australian beach so long you can\u2019t see its beginning, middle, or end? Check. White sand so pure that it squeaks when you walk? Yes sir. Friendly wildlife including grey kangaroos and pygmy possums<\/a> (the world\u2019s cutest possum, hands down<\/em>)? Tick. The whole place to yourself? Thanks to its rather remote location, you betcha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cape Le Grand is everything a beach should be and then some<\/em>. It\u2019s like Mother Nature\u2019s magnum opus \u2014 she cherry picked her best work from all her other beaches and threw it all down on the Western Australian coast. Sure, it\u2019s more than eight hours from the nearest capital city, but that\u2019s exactly what makes it so special \u2014 if it were anywhere else, it wouldn\u2019t be half as good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So east coast, shmeast coast<\/em>, am I right? If you\u2019re a beach bum about to book your Aussie escape, don\u2019t limit yourself to a tiny fraction of the land down under. The north, south, and west are more than worthy of your attention too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
