About Ninety Mile Beach

Ninety Mile Beach is one of the longest uninterrupted stretches of beach in the world, running approximately 151km along the Gippsland coast between Seaspray and Golden Beach. The beach forms the narrow barrier between the Bass Strait and the Gippsland Lakes system. It is a remote and wild surf beach backed by low scrub and dunes, with few facilities and an atmosphere of solitude rarely found on Victorian beaches.
