Princetown Beach

Located along the Great Ocean Road, Princetown Beach stretches for 800 meters east of Point Ronald with steep banks and small bays against the Southern Ocean.

The beach features a 1906 engineered gateway at Point Ronald, constructed with a 90-meter tunnel to manage water flow from Gellibrand River into the ocean.

The territory around Princetown Beach maintains strong connections to Wadawurrung, Eastern Maar, and Gunditjmara peoples, who serve as Traditional Custodians of the land.

Visitors reach the beach through a 600-meter walking path along Gellibrand River banks, with parking facilities available near the starting point.

The meeting point of Gellibrand River and Southern Ocean creates seasonal sand bars that require mechanical management to maintain water flow.
