Ninety Mile Beach
Ninety Mile Beach is a long, wide stretch of sandy coastline in southeastern Australia with soft sand extending far along the shore. The beach features a gentle, straight profile where ocean waves roll in steadily, and at low tide it reveals extensive areas of firm sand and shallow pools.
The area served historically as a fishing ground for local communities who used the ocean's resources. Over time it transitioned from a supply area to a place of recreation and leisure, though its importance to local life has remained constant.
The beach has been a gathering place for local families and fishing communities for generations. This long history of simple outdoor life remains visible in how people use the space today for quiet walks, picnics, and moments of reflection.
There are no shops or buildings directly on the beach, so bring your own supplies if you plan to spend the whole day there. Access is by car from nearby towns with parking available at access points, and it is wise to check local conditions before visiting, especially after storms.
The beach is known for its firm sand that allows vehicle driving along the shoreline, making it unusual as a place where cars and pedestrians share the same space. This feature makes it accessible for visitors with mobility concerns and creates a distinctive driving experience on a beach.
