Orchid Beach, Beach on Fraser Island, Australia
The beach extends for 14.5 kilometers from South Ngkala Rocks to Waddy Point, featuring pure white sand and clear ocean waters.
Aboriginal communities utilized the coastal resources of this area for generations before European settlement reached Fraser Island in the 1800s.
The beach forms part of K'gari, the traditional name given by the Butchulla people to Fraser Island, which means paradise in their language.
Access to Orchid Beach requires a 4WD vehicle due to the sandy terrain, and visitors need permits to drive on Fraser Island.
The nearby Champagne Pools create natural jacuzzis when waves crash over the volcanic rock formations into shallow sandy pools.
