Which beach in Australia is good for a holiday with the kids?

Question

We are not limited to any particular area as we’re happy to fly or drive to get to the location, we just want to have a good beach holiday in the sun.

Answer 1

Any beach in Esperance, Western Australia.

It's more than likely a long way away for you, but trust me, it's worth it! Best beaches in Oz.

The purest whitest sand with the clearest bluest water. Even on the beaches in town, you feel like you're a million miles away...

Answer 2

The Goldcoast has it all for children from theme parks to the best beaches . Broadbeach [Kurrawa] is over the road from Pacific Fair, one of the big shopping centres. Going south towards Coolangatta is getting further away from the theme parks but Burleigh beach is very nice. Surfers can get a bit rough and busy in the evenings with the night club scene but still a superb beach .A Day trip up into the Hinterland is wonderful if you would like to do some walking in the National parks

Answer 3

Another vote for the Sunshine Coast. My Grandparents live there so I have virtually grown up there. Kings Beach and Golden Beach at Caloundra are great for families and are safe and relaxed. About 20mins further up the coast is Maroochydore and Mooloolaba and they are great too with a bit more night life. All of the above are within an hour and a half of Brisbane and within half hour or so of Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter) which is definitely worth a visit.

Answer 4

Mollymook beach - Shoalhaven Ulladulla NSW

About 3 hours south of Sydney

Best beaches in Australia

Answer 5

We like to go to Arakoon state conservation area. It is Located about 20mins north of Kempsey on the NSW North Coast. It is also known as Trial Bay, which is part of South West Rocks. They have powered and non pwered camp sites. they amenities are very clean, just take your 20cent pieces for the shower (about $1 gets a good hot shower) Its right on the beach and beautifull. They have Kangaroos, birds, fishing and a great beach for the kids. There is a old gaol to explore a great licenced kiosk with great seafood.

Answer 6

Sorrento key/ hillarys boat harbour in perth Western Australia

It has beautiful white sand, shops,resteraunts and often there's a fair, there's a wacky putt golf course, 4 water slides and Aqua Underwater world which is apparently the best aquarium in the southern hemisphere, theres even a touch pool where you can feel the stingrays and a tunnel you can walk through and see the sharks swim above you) Its seperated into 2 main sections Hillarys which is wave free because of the jetty so its great if you have young kids and Sorento key which is wide open. Iv'e never seen any jelly fish either.



There's a whole bunch of pictures on google

Answer 7

I found the East coast beaches others have mentioned to be a bit off for one reason or another, but the West coast beaches like Esperance, or Margaret River, or Cable Beach at Broome really nice. I particularly liked Cable Beach for the warmth and huge size, Esperance for the beauty, and south coast beaches like the Coorong or Victorian ocean coasts for the cool climate beaches.

Answer 8

I'd choose any beach in Coffs Harbour, in New South Wales - we have the most fabulous beaches in Australia and the best weather. So come to beautiful Coffs for a fabulous, kid-friendly holiday. We have some really good places to stay at too and we have the "Big Banana".

Answer 9

For the kids I'd choose Golden Beach at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast.

It's not a surf beach, Golden Beach is at the far northern end of Pumicestone Passage. It's very safe for children but there are plenty of surf beaches nearby.

Answer 10

Have a great time wherever you decide to go. :-)
we live on the gold coast there are plenty of safe beaches for your young children.
Mackay and Cairns are all great they have the stinger issues in the water,if its beauty and not so much beach swimming then from Mackay to Port Douglas is great we were there last oct its certainly breathtaking. (we used the pools) no beach swimming.
