Officially."},"content":{"rendered":"

Australia is blessed with 10,685 beaches in total, and around\u00a010,684 of them look like something out of a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Comparing sugar-white\u00a0sand and colour-matching precise shades of aquamarine is no easy task. \u00a0So how do you rank the best of the best? For one man, the job took 5 months. Ocean Care Day Founder Brad Farmer worked with a coastal studies expert from the University of Sydney to compile a list of the country’s best beaches<\/a>. Each beach had to possess \u201cauthentic and compelling attributes\u201d, whatever those are, as well as being something you’d recommend to a friend.<\/p>\n

And the winner? Well let’s just say you won’t be roadtripping with the kids anytime soon…it’s a 4.5 flight from Perth, way out in the Indian Ocean: Cossies Beach on Cocos Keeling.<\/p>\n

We asked our in-house experts to whittle down Brad’s list to create our definitive Top 10. Full stop. End of story. Rub some zinc on your nose and get out the cricket set…we’re going to the beach.<\/p>\n
