Wilsons Promontory Beaches

Posted on October 30th 2010, by admin

Wilsons Promontory is a short drive from Walkerville and is well worth a day trip. The west coast of the Prom features a number of beautiful beaches, most of which can be reached with a short walk.

Norman Bay

With multiple access points, Norman Bay beach is the safest beach on which to swim near Wilsons Prom. Access from second ramp at Norman Bay beach car park at Tidal River. Surf lifesavers patrol this beach throughout the summer months.

Squeaky Beach

The rounded grains of quartz on Squeaky Beach make a squeaking sound when you walk in the dry sand  hence its name. The rock formations at the north end of the beach create a maze of passages for exploration. Access from the Squeaky Beach car park. Surf lifesavers do not operate at this beach.

Picnic Bay Beach

A steep track leads down to this beach, which has rock formations at both ends offering a range of rock pool habitats to explore. A viewing platform is located near the car park. Access from the Picnic Bay car park or from the walking track at Squeaky beach car park. Surf lifesavers do not operate at this beach.

Whisky Bay Beach

This small sheltered beach features rock formations at both ends. The access track passes through a gully and follows a small creek before passing over a sand dune to the beach. Access from the Whisky Bay car park or via the Picnic Point track at the north of Picnic Bay. Surf lifesavers do not patrol this beach.
