Climate: Around the best time to go is October-April, for swimming January-March gets rain (can you believe that) December is hot and crowded , scuba diving is September-December Information: The Australian beaches hold the title of "beach capital of the world" with at least 7,000 and its 36,735 kilometer of coastline makes it the place to go to find wildlife, beauty, and nature wonders Australia has been gifted with to many beaches to list, giving the world the best options in scuba diving, surfing, snorkeling. They also have a staggering collection of deadly creatures, the creatures on land are far more well known than the creatures at sea and shore. Here are a couple of examples of the deadly creatures: Cone shells: often host a snail with a noxious needle that has killed.
Sharks: overrated in the danger due to bad PR, attacks are a case of mistaken identity, when a shark - confused by waves - thinks a surfer is a seal. You have more chance of being killed by a falling coconut.
Stonefish: almost invisible tucked under sand, their poisonous spines are very potent and may mean a hospital trip. Hot water will disperse the toxins. Sand shoes or flippers will usually prevent penetration.
