Coast

Welcome to Sandy Point

Sandy Point is a peaceful coastal village on Victoria's stunning South Gippsland coast, nestled between the sweeping sands of Waratah Bay and the sheltered waters of Shallow Inlet, with Wilsons Promontory just a short drive away. Surrounded by rolling dunes, native bushland and spectacular coastal scenery, Sandy Point offers that rare combination of a relaxed seaside atmosphere and easy access to some of Victoria's most beautiful natural attractions.

The long, wide beach at Sandy Point stretches along Waratah Bay, with magnificent views towards the mountains and coastline of Wilsons Promontory. It is ideal for swimming, surfing, fishing, beach walks and simply enjoying the enormous sense of space and tranquillity. On the other side of the township, Shallow Inlet provides calm, shallow waters and is particularly popular for kayaking, boating, fishing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. The surrounding area is a haven for nature lovers, with coastal walks, native wildlife and spectacular sunsets, while nearby Wilsons Promontory provides endless opportunities for bushwalking, beaches and exploring one of Victoria's great coastal wilderness areas. Sandy Point remains a small, relaxed holiday town where the pace is slower, the beaches are uncrowded and the natural beauty is the main attraction.
