Summer is almost over for another year, however Australia has more than 50,000km of coastline on offer and there is no shortage of places to enjoy the surf, sand and sun at its best. But some beaches are wilder than others, plenty are inaccessible, and at this time of year a fair few are too darn overpopulated.
