About Manns Beach
Manns Beach is a small coastal locality in the Shire of Wellington, Gippsland, Victoria, situated along the shoreline of the Ninety Mile Beach near where a waterway mouths into Bass Strait. Located approximately 230 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, the area has a very small permanent population of around 29 residents, primarily comprising holiday homeowners and retirees attracted by its remote coastal setting. The locality spans about 7 square kilometres of low-lying coastal terrain characterised by beach dunes, coastal scrub, and proximity to the Gippsland Lakes region.
Manns Beach is a quiet retreat for those seeking an unspoilt coastal escape, with direct beach access to the legendary Ninety Mile Beach — one of Australia's longest stretches of unbroken coastline. The area is popular with fishermen, surfers, and four-wheel-drive enthusiasts who come to explore the remote beaches and dunes. Facilities are extremely limited with no commercial services in the immediate area, making nearby Woodside Beach and the town of Yarram the closest supply points for daily needs.
Manns Beach falls under postcode 3971 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland South (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
