then Cable Beach in Western Australia is the ultimate destination. Cable Beach is known for its Chinese and Japanese pearl divers and great views of the sunset.

Hyams Beach
New South Wales, Australia
If your desire is to catch a glimpse of some
of Australia’s wildlife, then Hyams Beach just three hours south of Sydney in Jervis Bay New South Wales is probably right up your alley.
Bells Beach
Victoria, Australia
If you’re hungry for a little competition, then Bells Beach is definitely the Australian beach for you. Home of the longest running surf competition in the world, Bells Beach is world famous for one thing, surfing.
Piha Beach
West Auckland, New Zealand
The birthplace of Malibu board riding in New Zealand, Piha is the country’s most famous surfing beach. It’s rugged cliffs frame the sea while the commanding Lion Rock stands guard and the lush bush of the Waitakere Ranges provide plenty of opportunity for exploration, walking and picnicking.
Kaiteriteri Beach
Nelson, New Zealand
A short drive from the Nelson Township, picturesque Kaiteriteri is decidedly the best beach in the South Island of New Zealand. Golden sand and the highest rate of sunshine hours in New Zealand mean Kaiteriteri Beach has all the prerequisites for an idyllic seaside experience.
Ocean Beach
Mount Maunganui, New Zealand
Mount Maunganui is something of an oddity in that it has both an ocean beach and a harbour beach, Pilot Bay. The placid harbour beach
is good for swimming while Ocean Beach is more dramatic, and popular for surfing and bodysurfing. For good reason, Mount Maunganui is dubbed “Surf City.”
Ninety Mile Beach
Northland, New Zealand
Whether you count in miles or kilometres, it’s still a really long beach. While the name Ninety Mile Beach is actually a misnomer (it’s really only 55 miles long, and New Zealanders use kilometres rather than miles), it is justly a top tourist destination for its staggering beauty.
Natadola Beach, Viti Levu, Fiji
A turquoise sea, pure white sand and palm shade trees, Natadola Beach has it all. The beach has earned a reputation as the greatest treasure of Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu. The reef forms a lagoon, providing a haven for swimming and at low tide you can walk all the way out to the reef.
