Sharks and poisonous creatures: Why Australians still love the beach?

You may have a favourite beach to swim, ride waves or just dip your feet in the water. But Australia's vast coastline could mean that a new favourite spot is just waiting to be discovered. The country is home to over 10,000 beaches, and if you tried to visit a new one every day, it would take you nearly 27 years to see them all. In this episode of 'Australia Explained', we explore why Australians are so attached to the beach, and the factors which make this marine life so unique.
