Cable Beach
Broome
Cable Beach stretches 22 kilometres of white sand along the Indian Ocean in WA's remote Kimberley region. The sunset camel rides are the real drawcard, and they actually live up to the hype. Swim in the dry season (April to October), and stay out of the water from November to May when box jellyfish and irukandji make it genuinely dangerous.
“Box jellyfish are a genuine risk outside the dry season, so April to October is the time to come. Watch for 4WDs driving on the sand and check the tides before you set up. The tidal range here is extreme.”
Casuarina Beach
Casuarina
Casuarina Beach sits about 15 km north of Darwin's CBD, facing northwest across the Timor Sea. You'll get classic Top End sunsets from the waterline, but like all Darwin beaches, box jellyfish make swimming off the table from October to May.
“Stingers make the water off-limits most of the year, so aim for the dry season (May to September) if you want a swim. There's a clothing-optional section (Free Beach) in the central part of the beach near Sandy Creek. Worth knowing before you wander down.”
Christies Beach
Christies Beach
You'll find this family-friendly beach about 30 km south of Adelaide backed by the golden Witton Bluff cliffs, with calm water for swimming, decent surf when the swell's running, and Horseshoe Reef for snorkelling. Head up the bluff at sunset for the best coastal views. Patrolled weekends, public holidays, and school holidays October to mid-March.
“Walk up to Witton Bluff for the best view of the coast at sunset. Horseshoe Reef is worth a look at low tide if you have a mask and snorkel.”
