When it comes to beaches, Australia undoubtedly has some of the best.

Tropical North Queensland’s Palm Cove topped the list, thanks to its powdery white sand, crystal clear water and turquoise skies.

If you’re tempted to see what all the fuss is about, you could do worse than hit up Luxury Escapes.
