The best place you've never been.
You’ve probably never heard of Flaherty’s Beach in South Australia, but it’s just been dubbed “Australia’s most beautiful beach.”
Sydney photographer Adam Rikys featured the beautiful Flaherty’s Beach in South Australia in a recent TikTok video titled ‘the best beach you’ve probably never heard of’.

The video, uploaded earlier in July has racked up over 78,000 views, and a slew of comments asking for details of the beach’s location.
Situated around 232km west of Adelaide, the hidden piece of Aussie coastline near Point Turton boasts glistening white sand and sparkling turquoise waters, the likes of which most travellers would only expect to see around popular island tourist destinations like the Maldives.

The beach is one of only a handful of South Australian beaches that visitors are permitted to drive onto, but its remote location means it’s only suitable for 4WDs.
The video’s creator has previously featured other lesser known Australian beaches like Elephant Rocks, an awe-inspiring natural rock formation around 439km southeast of Perth in WA, which Rikus shared with the caption ‘I found the Seychelles in Australia’.

The keen interest in unique local destinations makes sense, given the fact that Australia’s international borders are still closed.
Given the current outbreaks in NSW, and subsequent border closures to South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria, it may be a while before we can visit, but these little slices of heaven are definitely going straight to the top of our bucket list.
