Australia has 2 big cities, and 3 medium cities

Big cities are Sydney and Melbourne

Medium cities are Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide

If you want to live near the beach, I would choose either Sydney, Brisbane, or Perth.

The Gold Coast is probably Australia's most famous area for beaches, it's kinda close to Brisbane (~1hr drive). The Gold Coast is full of hotels and people on holidays, it not really a city though.

Personally, I like Sydney. Living in the Manly Beach area might suit you. Expect to pay at least $500 AUD a week for a 1 bedroom furnished apartment rental.
