Squeaky Beach

Squeaky Beach is a renowned white-sand beach in Wilsons Promontory National Park, South Gippsland, Victoria. It is famous for its rounded quartz sand that emits a squeaking sound when walked on when dry. Framed by granite boulders, clear turquoise water and coastal scrub, the beach lies north of Tidal River and is accessed via walking tracks and a car park off Wilsons Promontory Road.

Visitors can expect a curved bay of brilliant white quartz sand bordered by large granite boulders and low coastal vegetation. The beach offers clear turquoise water, views to offshore islands, and a distinctive squeaking sound underfoot when the sand is dry. Access is via a short walking track from the car park with stairs and sandy sections, or via longer coastal tracks from Tidal River and Pillar Point. There is no surf patrol and facilities are limited to the car park area.

Squeaky Beach lies within Wilsons Promontory National Park, reserved in 1898 and established as a national park in 1905, one of Victoria's oldest national parks. The promontory has a long Aboriginal occupation history and was later used for grazing, timber and wartime training before full protection as a national park.

The Wilsons Promontory area is part of the traditional Country of the GunaiKurnai and Bunurong peoples. The landscape holds cultural significance for its natural values, coastal scenery and ongoing connection to Traditional Owners, with interpretive information provided by Parks Victoria.
