Dingo Beach, Coastal beach in Whitsunday Shire, Australia
Dingo Beach lies along Edgecumbe Bay on Queensland's northern coast with white sand and clear water for swimming and fishing. Public barbecues and picnic areas are positioned along the waterfront for visitor use.
Dingo Beach is an 860-metre-long, up to 150-metre-wide sand beach in West Cape Howe National Park, near the locality of West Cape Howe in Western Australia's Great Southern region, about 390 km south-east of Perth. It opens toward the south-east and is reached by a steep walking path from a small car park north of the beach. The beach is not patrolled by lifeguards.
The name comes from the dingo, the wild dog of Australia; no source records a local tradition, ceremony or event tied to the sand. Visitors find an unpatrolled shore reached on foot, so the walk down from the car park north of the beach is the main shared experience.
