Logan's Beach

Logan's Beach is a sandy ocean beach located about 3 km south of central Warrnambool in Victoria, Australia. It is internationally recognised as a calving and nursery area for southern right whales, which visit the shallow waters between June and September. The beach features sand dunes, open ocean views and a dedicated whale watching platform. Managed by the City of Warrnambool, it is a key wildlife viewing site on the Great Ocean Road.

Visitors can expect a wide sandy beach backed by dunes with an elevated whale watching platform overlooking the ocean. The platform provides sheltered viewing of southern right whales and calves during winter and spring, with interpretive signage about whale behaviour. Outside whale season, visitors can walk along the beach, enjoy coastal views and observe seabirds. The site has a car park and is set in a natural coastal environment south of the Hopkins River mouth.

Logan's Beach is named after an early local family and has long been used as a coastal recreation area for Warrnambool. Since the 1980s it has been formally recognised and managed as a protected whale nursery, contributing to the recovery and monitoring of southern right whales along the Victorian coast.

The beach is a significant wildlife and eco-tourism site for Warrnambool and the Great Ocean Road region, valued for whale conservation, environmental education and community whale-watching traditions during the annual whale season.
