Coming in first place is Tasmania’s breathtaking Bay of Fires.
“I spent plenty of time in Tasmania assessing the beaches and in the end there were so many incredible options I couldn’t even settle on one which is why, for the first time, I’m awarding the best beach to a cluster of neighbouring beach bays in the Bay of Fires,” Farmer said.
“They say the colder water is good for you, but even if you’re not up for a refreshing dip there is still plenty to do and see along this 10-kilometre stretch of coast.
“It’s a location made for photography or painting, fishing and surfing.”
It is the first time a Tasmanian beach has taken the top spot on the list.
