Description
Beaches of the Northern Australian Coast covers beaches between Broome and Cooktown, including all beaches in the Kimberley region, the Northern Territory, and Cape York. In total, it encompasses 3,489 beaches spread along 11,869 km of tropical coast.
This book has two aims. First, it seeks to provide the public with general information about the origin and nature of the Northern Australian beaches. This includes the contribution of geology, oceanography, climate, and biota to the beaches, as well as information on beach hazards and safety. Second, it offers a description of each beach, detailing its name(s), location, access, facilities, dimensions, and the character of the beach and surf zone.
The book comments on the suitability of the beach for bathing, surfing, and fishing, with special emphasis on natural hazards. Based on the physical hazards, all beaches are rated in terms of public safety and are scaled from 1 (least hazardous) to 10 (most hazardous).
