Beaches in Australia are in abundance due to the fact that Australia is entirely surrounded by the ocean. Beaches are popular destinations among the country’s local population, and travellers alike, as over 85% of Australians live on the coast and most of Australia falls under the warm temperate and subtropical climate zones. Australia has a prominent beach culture, which is often considered part of its national identity, with television shows, movies, and songs being set in or relating to beaches. This page features a list of beaches in Australia.[2]
