Wilson's Promontory National Park has dunes and a squeaky beach
Squeaky Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, is located in the national park. Turquoise water and dreamy bays create a paradisiacal holiday feeling. Hikers are also well-catered for. The hike to the summit of Mount Oberon is an absolute highlight of Wilsons Prom. From there, you have the unique opportunity to overlook the beautiful landscape from a lofty height, including the dreamlike Squeaky Beach.
Jungle-green mountains line the interior of the national park and provide the perfect mix of ‘mountains and sea’. But that’s not all. You will find a desert dream at the beginning of Wilsons Promontory National Park. The fairytale dune ‘Big Drift’ transports you to a golden-yellow dune landscape with sea views. Simply beautiful!
This national park has it all and is deservedly one of the top sights on the route from Sydney to Melbourne (and vice versa)!
Top sights & highlights in Wilsons Promontory National Park
Big Drift
It’s simply amazing what’s hidden in Wilsons Promontory National Park. Shortly after entering the national park, the hike to the gigantic Big Drift dune begins at Stockyard Camp Ground. An absolute desert dream awaits you there! The start of the hike gives you little idea of the sensational dune landscape on the coast.
The path to Big Drift takes you past lush green fields and meadows. A short, steep climb through the sand is well worth it! The golden yellow sea of sand is your reward. On the dune, it’s time to marvel and enjoy.
Squeaky Beach
What a sensational beach! With its white sand and turquoise-blue, crystal-clear water, Squeaky Beach is not only one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. It is also an exceptional beach and lives up to its name. ‘Squeaky’ means ‘squeaky’ in German. This is precisely the sound you hear in the air as soon as you step onto the fine, white sand. The sound is produced by grains of sand rubbing against each other.
Many large, round rock formations on the bay’s edge invite you to explore. A peaceful place with a dreamlike backdrop where you can jump into the sea and have lots of fun! A top attraction in Wilsons Promontory National Park

Even those who don’t like hiking will quickly forget the climb to the summit with this beautiful view. A fantastic must-see in Wilsons Prom and one of Australia’s top sights.
