Many tourists have different opinions about Australia as a surfing paradise. This is in context with the zones of sandy beaches. The surfers’ and the Australians’ have until now debated a lot on which zone of great beaches are the best surfing destinations. This argument is prominently regarding the marina and beaches of New South Wales and Queensland, which are the two eastern states. If you opt for New South Wales, the most popular Bondi Beach is preferred by the surfers from all across the globe. On the other hand, Queensland offers the beach called Surfer’s Paradise with superb waves and ease of use throughout the year. So, there is no doubt that even this beach is increasingly becoming a leading tourist landmark for both surfers and non-surfers. So, now the next decision to be made is regarding the destination that is appropriate for you.

So, for the private surfing, you might like to go for the travel packages to Tasmania or Victoria, Here, the beaches are with rowdy surf with not much tourists seen around.
