Australia is blessed with the best beaches in the world

We have just returned from driving 11,000 miles over 8 weeks in the United states. As part of that adventure we drove up the West Coast through California and Oregon before heading inland off the coast and into Vancouver. During our 11,000 miles all we can conclude is that America is a magnificient country with incredibly scenic countryside. However, the beaches we saw in our travels were a real disappointment up the West coast including Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Pebble Beach and more. We had read about the beautiful coastline along Highway 101. Unfortunately, whilst we do not have huge, towering, rugged mountain ranges we do have far better beaches.

I think one of the big differences between beaches, and waterways in general in the U.S and Australia is that beaches and rivers in Oz generally have some green space sepereating them from buildings and roads. In the U.S. they tend to build as close as they can to the water.

Thank you for responding. This response is from my iPhone as my desk top won’t allow me to see comments or respond. Agree with you but the actual beaches are inferior too. No as much sand and our outer city beaches often have attractive bush right to the shoreline.
