Squeaky Beach, 3 hour drive south east of Melbourne, is famous for the acoustics created when walking on the silica and quartz sand.
Beautifully clear blue waters and good surfing makes Squeaky Beach a draw card for locals and tourists alike.
Surrounded by large granite boulders , bordered by Wilsons Promontory National Park, it is a must visit when you come to Australia.

We used to go there a lot particularly in the winter when there’s no one around.
BUT there’s this:https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/projects/eastern-victoria/wilsons-prom-revitalisation

Sounds like too many people for us.
And no sharks. 
Too many people for me as well.
I like secluded beaches, not full of people and dogs.
A lot of beaches here in NZ. People rarely go to the beach and when they do many people especially girls and women stay in their 4x4 SUV as beaches are usually dominated by loud, aggressive, show off predatory males. Fact is these days 95% of people prefer going to the supermarket or watch TV at home as it is safer and more enjoyable.
According to this evenings news only 150 of the 12000 are accessible by wheelchairs.
North Queensland needs you
Not that you can swim there in summer.
What about the salties ?
That is so sad. There needs to be a change of attitude from the males.
Has this always been the case?
An advertising campaign is needed to shame this behaviour.
Campaigns such as this do work.
I live in ireland There are almost 300 beaches dotted around the Irish coast which provide walking opportunities for visitors.
this is the rated No1 beach most beautiful beach in the world, Portsalon in Donegal
but in my eyes the nearest beach to me is what i regard as the best Lahinch beach in county clare ireland
We have hills, lots of them. No beaches.
^5^5. Now I know where the All Blacks get their Stamina. 
According to Wiki, 1,500 in the UK. There are some rugged, and beautiful areas of coastline here.
I love the beaches of Devon and Dorset.
On one beach, or just a bit out at sea, A whale watched a submarine fire a torpedo and thought the submarine had just give birth
Glad to hear that North Queensland needs me, Bruce, as I intend going there in October.
This is presumably in proportion to the length of the coastline.
Where I grew up in the UK the beaches were shingle (pebbles) I must say I prefer it to sand which sticks to everything, the only downside is that the water is so damn cold, whereas the water off Wollongong is still 27° this Autumn (warmer than the air temperature on days like today)
I suppose it depends if you like the surf too. I live near (ish) to Jervis Bay my son was stationed at the Naval base there a few years ago. It is supposed to have the whitest sand in the world but being a bay has no surf and is often the home for resting whales
There’s plenty of lovely coves in Cornwall, great for snorkeling although I haven’t done it for a long time.
Mega Beach. Bliss but Chilly.
Wondering IF. Still on the Albany WA police. Most Wanted posters. For nicking a pubs monster glass Ashtray. 
It was stuffed down my strides by a Bluey. 
Reward £10 POMME. One way Ticket . 
Australias beaches are lovely but dangerous .
Not only are their sharks but some have Salt water crocodiles and the lethal Box Jellyfish , one of the most dangerous animals on the planet .
