Welcome to the pristine shores of Squeaky Beach, nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia, known to the Traditional Owners as Yiruk Wamoon. Recently crowned as the 2024 Beach of the Year, Squeaky Beach captivates visitors with its unique bright sand, crystal clear water, and rugged coastline.
Wilsons Promontory, affectionately known as 'The Prom,' is a cherished gem in Australia's natural landscape. Situated at the southernmost tip of the mainland, this national park boasts diverse ecosystems and pristine beaches. From lush rainforests to windswept coastal cliffs, The Prom showcases the unparalleled beauty of Victoria's coastline, a photographer's paradise and a haven for nature enthusiasts.
Ever wondered why they call it Squeaky Beach? It's not just a catchy name – the sands here are like nature's own musical instrument! The high quartz content in the sand creates a delightful squeaking sound as you stroll along the shoreline, making every step a playful tune.
Keep your eyes peeled for the local residents. Squeaky Beach isn't just a playground for humans; it's home to an array of wildlife. Spot kangaroos and wallabies hopping along the shoreline, emus exploring the dunes, and maybe even a glimpse of a sleepy wombat enjoying the coastal breeze.
But what truly sets Squeaky Beach apart for me is the blissful lack of crowds. Yes, you heard that right! While some might shy away from the chill of the water, those brave enough to paddle out are rewarded with empty lineups and ample opportunities to catch that perfect wave.
