Move over Bondi, step aside Surfers Paradise, and take a backseat Byron Bay – there’s a new coastal superstar in town! Squeaky Beach, nestled in Victoria’s south-east, has officially been crowned Australia’s top beach for 2024. It’s not just a win for the sandy shores; it’s a triumph for the entire state, marking Victoria’s debut on the prestigious list.
Australia’s Beach Ambassador Brad Farmer, the guru of all things coastal, handpicked Squeaky Beach for the coveted title. Farmer, the maestro behind Coastcare and a trusted coastal advisor to the Senate, sifted through the sands of a whopping 12,000 beaches to identify the cream of the coastal crop. And guess who came out squeaky clean on top? That’s right, it’s Squeaky Beach!
What makes Squeaky Beach so special? Well, picture this: waves crashing on granite boulders, an open space that stretches as far as the eye can see, and a backstage pass to Wilsons Promontory’s exotic wildlife ensemble – emus, wombats, and kangaroos. But that’s not all. The beach earns its name from the unique it makes beneath your every step.
Grab the family and head to Squeaky Beach for a day of sand, surf, and serenades. Stroll along the iconic white sand, make music with every step, take a dip in the turquoise waters, and catch a wave at this surfer’s paradise.
