Stunning beaches are part and parcel of Australian culture, and we're always pretty dang chuffed when we get recognition for the jaw-dropping beauty our country offers. 

Big 7 Travel has been busy compiling its guide to the 50 Best Beaches in the World—generated by analysing Blue Flag locations, the social media popularity of beaches, and the thoughts of its editorial team. Two Aussie beaches have made the inimitable top 10, and it's safe to say they're in esteemed company. 

Brace for some serious wanderlust to set in, folks! Without further ado...

The Aussie Winners

The beautiful Whitehaven Beach is a national treasure, complete with incredibly white sand. Situated at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef and protected by the Whitsunday Islands National Park, it's a beach that is certainly no stranger to awards, stretching for seven kilometres and surrounded by swirls of turquoise, blue, and green water. Easily accessible from Hamilton Island in 30 minutes on a high-speed catamaran, Whitehaven Beach is an absolute Aussie must-visit. 

Hyams Beach, ensconced in the Jervis Bay region of the South Coast of NSW is home to similarly picturesque turquoise waters juxtaposed against soft bright white sands. This idyllic holiday destination is home to plenty of native wildlife, a small-town community vibe, and of course, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
