For locals and tourists alike, the beaches down under are big draws. And rightly so. Wineglass Bay on Tasmania's East Coast is truly one of the world's most stunning beaches, with the white sand and the greenish crescent of water leading to the blue horizon and sky. Mission Beach just off Cairns is a great place where you can combine a day at the beach along with a look-see at the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. The sands of Whitehaven Beach are so pure (98% silica) that it was used to build the Hubble Telescope. Don't miss any of these magnificent beaches.
