The beauty of these beaches also make them perfect for a romantic getaway, which is why we’ve collected the most romantic beaches in Australia.

North Narrabeen Beach in Sydney, New South Wales

The sands of North Narrabeen Beach are a peachy ochre tone that presents a striking contrast to the seemingly endless blue skies. Lining the north shore of the Narrabeen Lagoon, this peaceful beach is bordered by forest and campsites, although couples looking for a slightly more luxurious experience can check into the Quality Hotel Narrabeen Sands, less than a 2-minute walk away.

Blueys Beach in New South Wales

More rocky and rugged than soft and sandy, Bluesy Beach, with its steep grassy cliffs, stands out among Australian beaches. Still, incredibly beautiful, couples who prefer hiking and surfing are particularly fond of this understated beauty spot. If you plan to sun and surf, check into Moby’s Beachside Retreat, located between Blueys Beach and the nearby Boomerang Beach.

Scarborough Beach in Perth, Western Australia

Perth’s Scarborough Beach is a prime spot for surfing but its white sands make it ia popular spot for romance too, with many couples opting for a longer visit in order to make the most of the surrounding beach town.

Nature-loving couples can’t get enough of Bateau Bay, a coastal town with extensive opportunities for marine and wildlife watching.
