75 Mile Beach, White sand beach on Fraser Island, Australia

75 Mile Beach is a white sand beach running about 120 kilometres along the eastern coast of Fraser Island (K'gari) in Queensland. Its hard-packed sand serves as a road for tourist four-wheel-drive vehicles during the day and as a runway for some light tourist aircraft. Eli Creek reaches the sea along this beach, and the wreck of the liner SS Maheno lies on it.

The beach forms the eastern coast of K'gari (Fraser Island), a sand island built up over long periods by sand carried north along the coast. Its hard-packed surface later made it a route: the SS Maheno, a former trans-Tasman liner, was driven ashore here in 1935 and its rusting hull still lies on the sand.

The beach carries the K'gari name given by the Butchulla people, and the island's dingo population is central to their stories, in which the animals are treated as companions rather than pests. Visitors may notice warnings to keep food away from dingoes, a rule rooted in that relationship.

Vehicles driving on the beach must follow speed limits and cannot travel during high tide periods. It helps to check the tide times before you go and allow extra time for driving since some sections may be impassable depending on water levels.

The beach doubles as a landing strip for light aircraft serving the island, so planes share the sand with four-wheel-drive traffic. The SS Maheno, a liner wrecked on the shore in 1935, lies along the same stretch and is one of the landmarks drivers pass.
