  The clip, which has racked up 33,000 'likes' since it was posted on July 18, swiftly sparked stunned responses.

  'Take me here oh my god,' one person wrote.

  Another tagged her friend and said: 'Can we please go here?'

  And it's not the first of Mr Rikys' videos to capture the imaginations of travel-starved Australians deprived of overseas holidays since the country shuttered its international borders at the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.

  Earlier this month, footage of a remote beach on the northern tip of Western Australia sent hundreds to put it top of their bucket lists.

  Turquoise Bay has been enthralling travellers since it was featured in a TikTok video by the photographer and blogger who regularly spotlights off the beaten track destinations on his social media accounts.

  The beach, 1,310 kilometres north of Perth, was in February ranked the world's sixth most beautiful beach as part of TripAdvisor's Traveller's Choice Awards - and it's not hard to see why.

  The bay's sparkling water offers world-class snorkelling, with coral, fish, turtles, and other intriguing sea creatures clearly visible just metres from the white sand shore.

  However the bay is often plagued by strong currents, so anyone wanting to dip into the sea is advised to be cautious.

  Mr Rikys' video of the beach, which has been viewed 15,200 times since it was uploaded online on July 17, quickly drew widespread praise.

  'Aw that it just beautiful,' one woman replied.

  A second said: 'We go here every year and it never gets old.'

  Another called it 'the best beach I have ever been to'.
