Description

Wreck Beach is a south-west facing sandy bay located within the Bunurong Marine Park, approximately two kilometres south of Cape Paterson and 132 kilometres (82 miles) southeast of Melbourne.

The beach features intertidal rock flats in the front, and behind them are sand dunes that extend up to 500 meters inland. At high tide, waves break over the submerged rocks, while at low tide, the rocks become exposed.

There is a small creek that flows into the ocean at the eastern end of the bay, often referred to as 'Coal Creek'.

Wreck Beach is known for its good surf fishing opportunities, although it should be noted that reef fish are not allowed to be taken from the area.
