75 Mile Beach

75 Mile Beach is a 120-kilometre ocean beach forming the eastern coastline of K'gari (Fraser Island) in Queensland's Great Sandy National Park, within the Fraser Coast region. Gazetted as a highway and part of the World Heritage-listed K'gari, it is notable for its vast sandy highway used by four-wheel-drive vehicles, the Maheno Shipwreck, Eli Creek, The Pinnacles Coloured Sands and Champagne Pools, and its remote, undeveloped natural setting.

Visitors can expect a vast, straight sandy beach that doubles as a gazetted road for high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles. The landscape is open ocean surf on one side and dunes and coastal vegetation on the other, with no built promenade or shops on the beach itself. Key points accessible from the beach include the rusted Maheno Shipwreck, the clear freshwater Eli Creek, the Pinnacles Coloured Sands cliffs, Champagne Pools and Indian Head lookout. Driving is tide-dependent and the beach is exposed with no shade or lifeguard services.

K'gari was World Heritage-listed in 1992 as the world's largest sand island. 75 Mile Beach features the SS Maheno, a former trans-Tasman liner beached in 1935 during a cyclone while under tow, later used for WWII bombing practice. The beach has long served as a gazetted road and transport corridor for the island.

K'gari is the traditional land of the Butchulla people, who have lived on the island for thousands of years. The island's name K'gari means paradise in the Butchulla language. The beach, creeks and headlands hold cultural significance and are part of the Butchulla native title area within Great Sandy National Park.
