Australia Coast Life

See the Map of Australia.

All along the popular beach spots in Australia there’s much to do for visitors, activities range from sailing and boating to learning how to surf, kayaking and beach volleyball. Or just grabbing a towel to lie on and enjoying the scenery.

Being the only continent in the world that is completely surrounded by water, Australia has 35,876 km of coastline with more on the islands, adding another 23,859 km. With all that coast, Aussies have learnt how to have fun in and out of the water.

Water safety is important, however. Swim at surf life guard patrolled beaches, swim between the flags and stay safe. Don’t forget to take sun protection with you.
