Top Aussie beach locations

For Aussies looking to spend some quality time at the beach, Airbnb data revealed the top 10 most-searched beach locations in Australia, which include:

• Gold Coast, QLD

• Sunshine Coast, QLD

• Cairns, QLD

• Coffs Harbour, NSW

• Busselton, WA

• Newcastle, NSW

• Albany, WA

• Kiama, NSW

• Esperance, WA

• Denmark, WA

And, while beach holidays are appealing to many over the summer period, there are also plenty of regional and inland holiday options with beautiful pools and other swimming spots to enjoy.

Alternatively, those who prefer land-based activities will find that vineyards, barns, farm stays, design and OMG! listings can all also be fantastic options for a holiday break.

“We know many Australians love to escape to the beach or relax near the water over summer, but travellers may find a new way to seek inspiration and mix things up this holiday season with our Category feature,” Airbnb country manager for Australia and New Zealand Susan Wheeldon said.

“We also know many people will be looking to visit regional areas that have been impacted by flooding and natural disasters to help local communities recover and rebuild their economies.”
