Let’s show you the stretch of sand that’s just been voted No#1 beach in Australia!

When you think of Australia’s best beaches you might think of the white sands of Bondi or Byron Bay, well think again!

Australia’s best beach for 2025, according to Tourism Australia, is a 10km stretch of coastline in Tasmania’s Bay of Fires Conservation Reserve.

A serene sunset over a lake, vibrant orange and blue hues reflecting in the water, echoes the peacefulness of Tasmanian Walking Holidays. Silhouetted branches stretch from the left, enhancing depth to this tranquil scene as fluffy clouds dramatize the sky.

Tourism Australia’s official ‘Beach Ambassador’ conservationist Brad Farmer said for the first time a beach in Tasmania had won the award.

“I spent plenty of time in Tasmania assessing the beaches and in the end there were so many incredible options I couldn’t even settle on one which is why, for the first time, I’m awarding the best beach to a cluster of neighbouring beach bays in the Bay of Fires,” Mr Farmer said.

The Bay of Fires beaches beat over 12,000 entrants. Recent temperatures at the bay have been at a brisk 14C to 17C.

“They say the colder water is good for you, but even if you’re not up for a refreshing dip there is still plenty to do and see along this 10 kilometre stretch of coast.

It’s a location made for photography or painting, fishing and surfing,” Mr Farmer said. According to Mr Famer, the Bay of Fires is Australia’s best beach due to a stretch of coastline featuring clear blue seas, white sand and striking rock formations.
