Australia's beach ambassador has named Tasmania's Bay of Fires as the nation's best beach for 2025. Brad Farmer AM, renowned for his meticulous 130-point selection criteria, praised the bay's pristine waters, white sand, striking rock formations, and diverse ecosystem. This marks the first time a Tasmanian beach has topped the list.
With pristine waters, wide open beaches and orange lichen-covered rocky foreshores backed onto estuaries and lakes providing a green backdrop, an island beach has stolen the show as Australia’s top stop for beachgoers. Australia’s beach ambassador Brad Farmer AM cycles through 130 individual points to decide the nation’s best beach and he found the one in a stretch of coastline featuring clear blue seas, white sand and striking rock formations.
Mr Farmer is one of four beach experts in the world, and takes a qualitative approach to his studies with his world-first 130-point selection criteria for best beaches in the world. With more than 12,500 beaches, rivers, lakes and lagoons in Australia, the conservationist researches the location online before contacting various stakeholders in the region, including fishermen, tourist operators and councillors. He then travels to the locations and spends at least one day to a week in the area.
