Many people dream of going to Australia to see its world-famous beaches, but it is a very expensive plane ticket to travel to the other side of the world. However, Britain also has beautiful beaches which have been compared to the golden Australian coastline so you do not have to go abroad to find somewhere speculator to visit . Annabel Symonds, a travel expert and co-founder of Londoner in Sydney , has shared that Luskentyre Beach on Harris Island in Scotland looks eerily similar to Queensland Beach in Whitsundays, Australia.
She said: “That’s right, Luskentyre Beach on Harris Island in Scotland reminds us of one of the best beaches in the world.” Luskentyre Beach is famous for its simmering clear turquoise water which gives the beach a tropical appearance despite being in Scotland and also has pristine white sand which creates a striking contrast against the water.

Not to mention, the scenic backdrop of the Scottish rugged green hills in the distance makes Luskentyre Beach the perfect place to take a camera to snap some extraordinary photos. Many people spend some time hiking to Beinn Dhubh, a group of nearby hills in order to get the best photograph.
