Australian Beach Safety and Management Database Program (ABSAMP)

Created 13/03/2025

Updated 13/03/2025

The database contains geographical and physical information about all the Australian open coast beaches, as well as some of the larger bays around the coastline. The database is complete for over 11,000 beaches around Australia. The survey data collected includes: number of beaches, beach location, zoning, beach type/rating, roads/town, beach geomorphology, beach morphodynamics, access/facilities, barrier/drainage key, maps and air photos and beach sediment. Sediment samples (~4000) of both beach and dune sands were also collected during the development of the database. This data resides with Geoscience Australia in Canberra.
