Every year TripAdvisor ranks the world\u2019s best beaches as voted by travellers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2019 list has, as always, ruffled plenty of beach-goer’s feathers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of all the glorious stretches of deserted coastline and pristine waters around Australia, Manly Beach on Sydney\u2019s North Shore has topped them all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don’t get us wrong: Manly is pretty decent as far as beaches go, but with so many tourists and bars it\u2019s more Gold Coast than coastal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Plus, when you’re comparing it to tropical deserted beaches like those in Queensland, well – just look at that water!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last year Manly was bested by Bournemouth Beach on England\u2019s southern coast, which – at #20 this year – still outranks every other Australian beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s less of a kick in the teeth than in 2013 when a beach from Wales bested every Australian beach bar one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh, and also still better than the lists from 2018 and 2017 in which Aussie beaches failed to make the Top 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m guessing the people voting for Manly haven’t been to many other beaches. Far from Australia’s best beach. Like not even in the top 50,\u201d one person wrote on Facebook.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSydney beaches are always cold and dirty,\u201d another wrote. \u201cQueensland leave all Sydney beaches for dead.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Check out the list for yourself:\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Baia do Sancho \u2014 Fernando de Noronha, Brazil<\/p>\n

2. Varadero Beach \u2014 Varadero, Cuba<\/p>\n

3. Eagle Beach \u2014 Palm \u2014 Eagle Beach, Aruba<\/p>\n

4. La Concha Beach \u2014 San Sebastian \u2014 Donostia, Spain<\/p>\n

9. Playa Norte \u2014 Isla Mujeres, Mexico<\/p>\n

10. Seven Mile Beach \u2014 Negril, Jamaica.<\/p>\n

TripAdvisor also released a list of the Top 10 Australian beaches – again with Manly holding court in the #1 spot for the second year in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out of the Top 10 beaches, half are in Queensland while New South Wales and Western Australia are neck and neck with two beaches each.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winners are determined based on the quantity and quality of traveller reviews and ratings for beaches over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Australian Beaches<\/strong>\n<\/p>

1. Manly Beach \u2013 Sydney, NSW<\/p>\n

2. Surfer\u2019s Paradise Beach \u2013 Surfers Paradise, QLD<\/p>\n

3. Turquoise Bay \u2013 Exmouth, WA<\/p>\n

4. Mooloolaba Beach \u2013 Mooloolaba, QLD<\/p>\n
