A lesser-known seaside on the southern tip of Western Australia has been named one of the best seaside within the nation for 2022.
Distress Seaside, 20 kilometres south of Albany and 420 kilometres from Perth, has topped the rankings by Tourism Australia’s seaside ambassador Brad Farmer.
The winner’s gloomy identify comes with an fascinating historical past – Distress Seaside is a former whaling station that may as soon as flip the sands pink and waters murky with particles. Now, although, it wins approval for its gentle white sand, dramatic granite backdrop, and turquoise waters.
In second place is Horseshoe Bay in NSW adopted by The Cut up in Queensland, Flaherty’s Seaside in South Australia, and Loch Ard Gorge in Victoria.
“With greater than 11,000 seashores to select from, narrowing down the highest 20 seashores have to be one of many hardest jobs in Australia,” Minister for Commerce, Tourism and Funding Dan Tehan mentioned.
“As Australia continues its profitable re-opening, we’re going to see a surge in vacationers that can assist jobs and companies. My message to the world, is to start out planning your subsequent vacation to Australia and to incorporate as a lot of our high 20 seashores in your itinerary as you may slot in.”
