Jan 14 07:50am

Living beachside may be more afforable than you think. RP Data has released research detailing where you can find Australia’s cheapest waterfront properties.

The top 5 cheapest beachside suburbs are:

  • Port Pirie West, SA       $140,000 median house price (mhp)
  • Loch Sport, VIC           $149,250 mhp (pictured)
  • Beechford, TAS            $158,500 mhp
  • Toora, VIC                  $163,750 mhp
  • Ceduna, SA                 $164,250 mhp

Queensland, WA and New South Wales weren’t represented in the top 5.

In Queensland, Halifax is the cheapest oceanfront suburb, at $200,000 mhp. Other hot spots include Rocky Point, Burnett Heads, Elliot Heads, and Cardwell.

In WA, Withers is the most affordable beachfront location, at $270,000 mhp. Other hot spots include Geraldton, Derby, Sunset Beach and Mandurah.

In NSW, Corindi Beach is the cheapest waterfront location, at $272,500 mhp. Followed by Sandy Beach, Dalmeny, Diamond Beach and Nambucca Heads.

Northern Territory was not included as there were less than five oceanfront locations with statistically reliable data located outside of Darwin City.

By contrast, the most expensive waterfront property can be found in Tamarama, Sydney, where the median house price is $4.4million.

Corindi Beach is absolutely beautiful, you have the beach, the bush and an easy drive between to very good shopping centers. Queensland is a 4 hour drive for a weekend away but before you go outside the State this part of the NSW coast has quite a number of comparable places to spend a weekend away.

I love corindi beach, I live in queensland, it only takes me 2 hours 45 min to get to corindi now the tugan bipass has finished. I didn't realise it was that cheap, the beaches are untouched, close to coffs and graften, much nicer than the gold coast.
