Hyams Beach
A bay beach known as the world's whitest beach, with fine white sand and clear water, ideal for snorkelling and spotting dolphins.
Hyams Beach is about 1.7 km long. Its quartz sand is so white it dazzles, and it squeaks underfoot. The water shifts from turquoise to blue-green, and the gentle waves suit swimming and stand-up paddleboarding. Dolphins occasionally swim close to shore. In summer and on holidays parking is tight, with only a few spaces in the village, so arrive before 9 a.m. or walk along the White Sands Walk from Vincentia. The village is tiny, with only one small shop and a café. Please do not take sand away.
