1. Australia is the beach capital of the world, with its 36735 kilometres of coastline it has at least 7000 beaches
2. i know of two but im sure theres more than that
3. Heaps to many to count the whole east coast is long warm sandy beach with perfect waves.. endless summer, australia has some of the most pristine beaches in the world remember australia is an island when are you coming ?
4. Wow, I doubt anyone's ever attempted to count them. Literally thousands I would imagine, I think there's in excess of 30000 km's of coastline just for the mainland. I guess it would also depend on your definition of a beach, does it need a name, does a rocky outcrop divide a beach into two, is a 20 metre wide sandy cove a beach? Coral cays? Would you count all beaches within Australia's territorial waters? If you count all these situations you would be talking tens of thousands.
5. There are millions of beaches in Australia - my girlfriend is a real right beach!
6. With more than 30,000km of coastline, start counting. There are stretches of beachless coast where cliffs come down to the sea or mangroves rule but there are still thousands of kilometres of beachy coast left. Throw a dart at a map of Australia and go to the nearest coast. There's a beach near there.
7. We live on an island, the whole country is bordered by beaches.
8. who knows, thousands.
9. More than 10,000 beaches.
