About Glomar Beach

Glomar Beach is a small coastal locality on the Ninety Mile Beach in East Gippsland, Victoria, situated near the town of Seaspray within the Wellington Shire. The locality covers approximately 8.3 square kilometres and has a very small permanent resident population of around 21 people, though it is primarily a holiday and weekender destination. Glomar Beach fronts one of Australia's longest uninterrupted stretches of surf beach, and enjoys a backdrop of the Lake Wellington system and the Gippsland Lakes.

The area draws holidaymakers, surfers, and nature lovers attracted to pristine, uncrowded beaches and access to the Gippsland Lakes. Fishing — both from the beach and in the nearby lakes and rivers — is a popular activity, and the locality has a quiet community atmosphere that comes alive during school holidays and summer. Basic amenities are available in nearby Seaspray, while Sale provides the nearest comprehensive range of shops, schools, and medical services. Glomar Beach appeals to those seeking a genuine coastal escape from city life.

Glomar Beach falls under postcode 3851 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
