Beaches on the QLD coast Australia

The beaches of Queensland have long enjoyed the status of legend. White and sandy, warm and golden, big and beautiful - whatever your style, Queensland has the right beach for you!

Hit the beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast for a fun surfing safari! With crystal clear waters, wide open aspects and pumping year-round swell, these beaches are Mecca for surfing greats from around the world.

Not far from Brisbane you can feed the wild dolphins and watch the whales migrate from a beautiful stretch of sandy shore on the pristine islands of historic Moreton Bay.

The perfect beach to sink into with a good book, chilled cocktail, or lazy daydream is waiting for you in Tropical North Queensland and the Whitsundays. Separating lush tropical rainforests from the cool blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, these beaches are the thing of tropical holiday dreams.

For the perfect family seaside vacation you can’t go past the Fraser Coast. The calm sheltered waters of the Great Sandy Strait provide the perfect backdrop for sandcastles, paddle-boats and scrumptious fish and chips by the beach.
