Hyams Beach
Jervis Bay · Australia
The short version, from the cited sources
Hyams Beach faces the sheltered waters of Jervis Bay on the New South Wales south coast, part of a chain of strikingly white quartz-sand beaches inside and around Booderee and Jervis Bay's protected areas. Popular accounts often repeat a claim that its sand is the whitest in the world; the claim has no official measurement behind it, but the brightness of the sand and the clarity of the bay are real and draw heavy summer visitation to a very small village.
