South Australia’s Flaherty’s Beach dubbed ‘most beautiful beach’

Finding a good slice of beach in Australia is no hard task – given we are surrounded by more than 34,000km of coastline. But is this slice our best?

Finding an idyllic beach in Australia is no real challenge, given the country is surrounded by around 34,000km of coastline.

But one TikTok user claims they’ve found a remote beach dubbed the ‘most beautiful’ in all the land.

Sydney photographer Adam Rikys, however, has taken to TikTok to feature Flaherty’s Beach in a recent video titled ‘the best beach you’ve probably never heard of’ – and until now, we hadn’t!

One Aussie photographer says Flaherty’s Beach is the best in the country.

The stunning beach sits near Point Turton, which is 232km west of Adelaide. With white sands and crystal clear water, it lures many to the hidden coastline each and every year – especially those who own a 4WD.

The photographer’s video – which has been viewed 78,000 times since it was uploaded online in early July – quickly drew responses and questions about where the beach was located and how to find it.

“Went here after lockdown in November, absolutely gorgeous beach,” one added, while a third said how “amazing” it looks and another commented on how it is the “best beach in Australia”.

It has been described as a slice of paradise.

The water is crystal clear and the sands are white.

Earlier this week, Mr Rikys highlighted another spot he said was like the ‘Seychelles in Australia’.

The stunning natural formation – called Elephant Rocks – is 439km southeast of Perth, Western Australia.

Mr Rikys said Australians must “add this place” to their travel list for the ultimate slice of paradise.

Currently, border restrictions are in place for parts of Australia due to the current NSW Covid-19 outbreak.

A hard border is in place with NSW for West Australia, South Australia and Victoria. Australia’s international border has been closed since March 2021, with expectation it will not open until mid-2022.

Just last month, Australia’s famed Bondi Beach was named the most Instagrammable in the world.

UK money site Money.co.uk analysed over 26 million Instagram hashtags associated with the world’s most popular beaches and calculated how many posts are shared per metre of that stretch of sand – the one with the most Instagram posts per metre being crowned the most beautiful in the world.

Lovely sunny day on the Nusa Penida, Bali, which has been voted the most beautiful stretch of sand in the world.

Taking out the top gong, Kelingking Beach in Nusa Penida, Bali is the most popular with visitors loving the 80m stretch of waterside paradise – which also features cliffs that resemble a T. Rex.

According to the study, there are 338,000+ photos of the sandy strip on Instagram, or 4227 pictures per metre.

But coming in second was Sydney’s Bondi Beach, which ironically has become the site of the country’s latest Covid-19 outbreak. According to the research, 1776 pictures were taken per metre.
