There is a downside to living in Australia: you get reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy fussy about your beaches. "Sand was too course", "The waves were too small", "Had to walk too far from the car" or the best one "There were other people on it! Looks like we will have to go somewhere else."
Seriously though, we have good beaches in other parts of the country, but the coast of New South Wales is just amazing. Even the snobiest beach snob in Australia has no trouble finding a good beach there.

The number might sound big, but it gets even bigger when you know that we have some really long beaches: I have been to both the 90 Mile and 80 Mile beaches (yes, that is what they are called and yes, they are actually that long without any rocks to break them up - just sand all the way along). There can be some odd things at some of our beaches. Like there are parts of the country where the tide goes so far out, you cannot see the water from the beach anymore: https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1680&bih=916&q=bells+beach+big+waves&oq=bells+beach+big+waves&gs_l=img.3..0.8279.12333.0.12483.22.13.0.5.5.0.380.1662.2-6j1.7.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..10.12.1664.0..0i8i30k1j0i24k1.2CxjvsITQAA#tbm=isch&q=tidal+flats+derby&imgrc=5a5uOxnzSTnaXM%3A
