Golden Beach

Some of Victoria's best ocean fishing can be enjoyed in Gippsland at Golden Beach. Every year thousands of visitors flock to Ninety Mile Beach to take part in the many fishing competitions that are hosted in the area. The man made reef at Delray Beach also provides a surf fishing paradise.

Camping along the beach dunes is permitted and there are a variety of other accommodation options available, including bed and breakfasts and fisherman’s cottages that allow you to enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of Ninety Mile Beach. The Trinculo was forced ashore by a gale in 1879 and the remaining structure can still be seen on the beach.

Bird life is prolific along the coast and includes crimson and eastern rosellas, yellow tailed black cockatoos, blue wrens, eastern spine bill and many other honeyeaters. The rainbow lorikeet is attracted by the temperate climate and the plentiful coastal banksia and remains in the beach coastal parks area year-round. Walk over the golf links at Golden Beach and be among kangaroos, emus, echidnas and wildflowers.
