Seaspray on Ninety Mile Beach

Seaspray is a small coastal holiday town on Ninety Mile Beach. The local beach section is 2 km long, centrally located in town and faces southeast. When planning a stay by the sea, there are two different perspectives to consider: visiting the beach in town and taking a coastal walk along the park. If you’re looking for a hotel in Seaspray, you can base your choice on the activities that matter most to you.

Beach access and local history

Access to Ninety Mile Beach in Seaspray is possible at several points along Foreshore Road. After storms, check the individual access points on site. At the Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club, there is a large viewing platform and ramps leading down to the beach. This infrastructure can also be affected by coastal storms, so check its condition before your visit. The Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club was established in 1955.

Coastal walks and parkland

Along the western side of Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park, visitors can take coastal walks on Shoreline Drive from Paradise Beach to Seaspray. For travellers who enjoy walking, this offers a different way to experience the coast than visiting the beach section in town. Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park extends along Ninety Mile Beach from Seaspray to Lakes Entrance. Check the current park boundaries and management arrangements before your trip. For planning purposes, it helps to distinguish between the parkland and the specific walk described along Shoreline Drive.

Access to the Marine National Park

Ninety Mile Beach Marine National Park is accessible via Seaspray from the South Gippsland Highway. For access from town to the park, a 2006 Parks Victoria management plan mentions established walking tracks or the route around the mouth of Merriman Creek. The plan also describes small boats, 3 to 4 metres long, being launched into Merriman Creek at the Seaspray boat ramp. According to the plan, the boats then travel down the creek to the sea; when the mouth is closed, they are pulled across the beach to reach the Marine National Park. As the access routes and boating option are described in a 2006 plan, check the current situation on site before planning a route or launching a boat.

For planning purposes, the information differs mainly by activity: Foreshore Road is associated with several beach access points, while Shoreline Drive is associated with coastal walks from Paradise Beach to Seaspray. This lets you decide whether you’re looking for beach access or planning a walk along the western side of the park.
