Ninety Mile Beach

Ninety Mile Beach is a 151-kilometre stretch of uninterrupted sandy coastline in Gippsland, Victoria, extending from near Port Albert to Lakes Entrance across Wellington and East Gippsland shires. Backed by natural sand dunes and facing Bass Strait, it is considered one of the longest continuous beaches in the world. Largely undeveloped and within Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park, it is notable for natural scenery, beach walking and surf fishing.

Visitors can expect a vast, straight sandy beach backed by low dunes and coastal vegetation facing Bass Strait. The beach is largely natural and undeveloped with wide open sand, surf and dune systems. Access is via several small coastal towns such as Seaspray, Golden Beach, Loch Sport and Woodside Beach with car parks and dune tracks leading to the shore. Visitors can walk along the beach, fish, swim, surf and photograph the coastal landscape. There are no promenades or resort developments along most of its length.

The beach lies on the coastline of Gippsland, traditionally part of Gunaikurnai Country. European sighting of the coast occurred in the late 18th century, with settlement and development of nearby ports such as Port Albert in the 1840s. The beach and adjoining Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park have been reserved for conservation of the natural coastal and dune environment.

The area is part of Gunaikurnai Country and holds cultural significance for the Gunaikurnai people as part of their traditional coastal landscape. The beach is valued as a natural coastal landmark and recreational area for local communities and visitors to Gippsland.
