Ninety Mile Beach

Ninety Mile Beach is a sand peninsula stretching over 150 kilometers along Victoria's southeastern coast. It separates the Gippsland Lakes from Bass Strait waters and forms a flat, sandy shoreline with several entry points from nearby towns.

The beach served as a traditional navigation route for Indigenous peoples and later became a vital transportation corridor during early European settlement. Its role as a travel and trading route shaped how the region developed.

The area maintains strong connections to fishing traditions, with local communities continuing these practices in several coastal towns. You can see fishing boats along the shore and watch how the daily rhythm of these settlements revolves around the sea.

You can reach this area through several coastal settlements such as Woodside Beach, Seaspray, Golden Beach, Loch Sport, and Lakes Entrance. These towns offer convenient access points and facilities for visitors.

Marine researchers have found hundreds of different species in small sections of the underwater sand plains near the coast. This surprising abundance of marine life makes it notable among researchers studying ocean ecosystems.
