Coming in at the 10th spot is Casuarina Beach in the Northern Territory.
The beach is part of a coastal reserve and stretches over 500m.
At the right time of year, turtles nest on the beach.
"Of course all of the 'Best Australian Beaches' for 2024 are worthy of the recognition and so are the many thousands of others in Australia and off our coast, making it a tough, sometimes controversial job to come-up with a list of just 10 but it has been an honour to do just that once again," Farmer said.
Cow Bay Beach resembles a foreign tropical paradise, but it's actually nestled between the Daintree River and Cape Tribulation on Queensland's coast.
The beach came in 9th on the list.
Stretches of sand contrast beautifully with the crystal blue water at Long Beach, South Australia.
The beach, in Robe, SA, came in at 8th place.
It's not surprising that the jaw-dropping Lagoon Beach, on Lord Howe Island, made the top 10 list.
The island is an external territory of New South Wales that sits in the Tasman Sea, east of Port Macquarie.
Number 6 on the list was awarded to North Stradbroke Island in Queensland, 30 kilometres southeast of Brisbane.
"Beaches are much more than just a place to lay a towel and get wet," Farmer said.
"Our coasts have the potential to become this nation's greatest sustainable resource for generations to come."
Farmer also reminded beachgoers to swim between the flags.
Pulu Blan Madar Island, part of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, cracked the top 5 on the best beaches list.
"The search for the best beaches extends far and wide and one island on the far-flung archipelago caught my eye," Farmer said.
The Islands are a remote territory of Australia, located in the Indian Ocean.
It's made up of 27 small islands, featuring white-sand beaches, palm trees and natural lagoons.
In Denmark, Western Australia, Madfish Bay took out the fourth spot on the list of Australia's best beaches.
Madfish Bay is made up of a group of small islands, separated by natural rock outcroppings.
The luscious green surroundings are known to house snakes, so watch where you step.
Tasmania's Cockle Creek took out the bronze spot, named the third-best beach in Australia.
The beach sits on the fringe of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, in Recherche Bay.
Discover Tasmania describes the stunning beach as "as close to the edge of the world as most people ever get."
The Farm, on New South Wales' south coast, was nudged out of the top spot this year, placing second.
"List of beaches is refreshed each year to highlight different destinations and to showcase the diversity of beaches Australia has to offer."
The beach, in Shellharbour, was declared a national surfing reserve in 2009.
It's enclosed by lush green landscaping and looks out to turquoise waves.
Squeaky Beach is the first Victorian beach to win the title of Best Australian Beach.
The beach sits on the western side of Wilson's Promontory National Park, at Australia's southernmost point.
The beach got its name from the squeaky noise the sand makes when walking along it, according to Parks Victoria.
The stunning cove is enclosed in two massive granite boulders, presenting an unforgettable view.
