This popular summer spot is often referred to the Whitsundays of NSW. Hyam’s beach is approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Sydney, and has one of the whitest sands in Australia!

Turquoise Bay, Exmouth

Spend the afternoon relaxing, swimming and snorkeling in the gorgeous crystal clear and calm waters. Turquoise Bay is considered WA’s best beach, located in the Cape Range National Park.

Cossie’s Beach, Cocos Island

This remote paradise is located on Direction Island nestled in the Cocos islands, an Australian territory in the Indian ocean.

Noose Main Beach, Noosa Heads

Take the family out and enjoy a day out at Noosa Main Beach, where the waves are gentle and calm, perfect for kids and not so confident swimmers!
