The Gold Coast consists of 70 kilometres (43 mi) of coastline with some of the most popular surf breaks.[1]

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] The longest beach in Australia is the 194 km (121 mi) long sandy beach running down the outer side of the Younghusband Peninsula in South Australia, commonly referred to as The Coorong. It runs from the Murray mouth to Cape Jaffa.[3]
