The World’s Whitest Sand, Hyams Beach, NSW, Australia

While searching for a beautiful beach for a wedding, I discovered Hyam’s Beach. Before then, I had no idea such a beautiful place was so close to Sydney. Hyams Beach is about two hours drive south of Sydney. It is located in the beautiful Jervis Bay area.

Hyams Beach is the Guinness World Record holder for the whitest sand. When I learned that, I had to go see it for myself. If you didn’t already know, I’m a beach lover. An island lover. I love staring out at the water, out over the blue and green, at the horizon. I probably belong on a boat. Except I get seasick.

A tip for your trip to Hyams Beach

Take a small jar, or something to take some sand home with. My kids asked me, “can we take home some of the whitest sand?” We only had a paper cup. Sure enough, they found a way to bring home sand… In their pockets!
