( CNN ) -- Three-hundred fifty-seven . That 's the number of women it took for Australia on Sunday to seize the record from the Cayman Islands for the largest bikini parade . The women , in tiny two pieces and pink visors , paraded around Surfers Paradise beach on the Gold Coast as throngs of onlookers whooped , hollered and snapped pictures . A electronic sign kept count as the women filed past : 329 , 330 , 331 . At 332 , a cheer went up as the crowd realized the parade had broken the previous record : 331 , set in Grand Cayman on the Cayman Islands in June 2010 . Yet , more women sauntered past . In the end , a new record was set : 357 . `` And so , the record you were going for stood at 331 . It was broken in the Cayman Islands last year , '' Australian Guinness World Records adjudicator Chris Sheedy told the crowd . `` And unfortunately , they have had their record smashed . '' The number would have been higher . Four women were disqualified for overdressing .
The old record was set last year in the Cayman Islands . Australia breaks the record with six bikini - clad women . Four athletes are disqualified for diving .
