Chalkie's Beach, Beach at Haslewood Island, Australia
Chalkie's Beach stretches along the western coast of Haslewood Island with white silica sand and turquoise waters of the Coral Sea.
The name originates from David Hutchen, who kept scores on a blackboard during beer contests after Sydney to Hobart yacht races.
The beach represents a connection to early Australian agricultural heritage, with former sheep stockyards operating on the island during the 1920s.
Ten public moorings are available for boats, while anchoring remains prohibited due to the steep underwater drop-off and fringing reef.
The northern section of the beach contains coral formations where sea turtles feed on seagrass beds near the shore.
