The Gold Coast had 57km of Coastline beaches, and 860 km of navigable tidal waterways.

Officially 12:
Constitution Beach, L Street Beach, Carson Beach, Castle Island, Savin Hill Beach, Tenean Beach, Malibu Beach, 5 of the harbor islands have official beaches

Can't recomend swimming at any of them, but the South Boston beaches (L Street Beach, Carson Beach, Castle Island) are the nicest to hang out at and a great place to go jogging/rollerblading/walking/biking

This is Amsterdam's Nicest beach: Blijburg.

Blijburg was created as part of the new urban area of IJburg and serves as a 'marketing tool' for developers. It's a magnet for people on a sunny summer day, who can see that IJburg is a good place to love on their way there.

Amsterdam has some urban beaches, created to hang out, not so much for swimming. People do swim in canals and harbours around the city though, like in Zeeburg.

Rio de Janeiro has more than 20 beaches, and I think Rio is unbeatable when it comes to this subject...

Hong Kong has hundreds of beaches - most of them (i.e., the best ones) unknown, secluded, or private. The public ones do a decent job, but they're not 'great' beaches per se.

Here is my favourite:

Is that clearwater Bay? A junk trip is one of HK greatest assets!

Nelson: Two beaches which is called Tahuna Beach. Nearly everyone in Nelson lives within five-ten minutes drive of it. The other beach is at a place called Rabbit Island which used to have a massive rabbit population and is now mostly state pine forest.

In Buenos Aires there was a beach named Costanera Sur, in the 20´s:

... later, the polution ruined the water and the people never came back.

Now, it s an ecologic resrve, and the river is far away...
