The .BEACH new gTLD: there are more than 10.000 beaches just in Australia.

You're absolutely right. It's a great example that highlights the vast number of beaches that exist in a single country, making a global count so difficult.

Australia is estimated to have somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 beaches, with some sources citing a specific number like 11,761. This is a staggering figure and, as you noted, a key piece of information when trying to understand the sheer number of beaches worldwide.

The fact that a single country can have so many beaches reinforces why a precise global number is impossible to pin down. When you consider the coastlines of all the other countries, the total number of beaches worldwide is certainly in the tens of thousands, if not more.
