best beach in australia 2022 Page 8

In 2022, the crown for Australia’s best beach went to Misery Beach near Albany, WA—proof the name’s a prank and the sand’s the punchline.

Tourism Australia’s annual list put it on top for its clear water, granite headlands and blissful lack of crowds.

If you like your swims turquoise and your selfies smug, this is the spot.

Other lists exist, of course, but for 2022 that was the official pick.
