About Woodside Beach
Woodside Beach is a small coastal locality in Victoria's Wellington Shire, situated along the shores of the famous Ninety Mile Beach in Gippsland, approximately 10 kilometres from the township of Woodside. With a 2021 Census population of 114 residents, the locality is a quiet seaside community that swells in summer with holiday visitors drawn to one of Australia's longest uninterrupted stretches of surf beach. The area falls within the federal electorate of Gippsland and the state electorate of Gippsland South, nestled between the Southern Ocean beach and the Gippsland Lakes system.
The locality is surrounded by natural attractions including Balloong Natural Interest Reserve, Jack Smith Lake, and the nearby McLoughlins Beach, making it popular with anglers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers. The beach is patrolled by volunteer surf lifesavers during summer, and the area has a long history tied to the maritime character of the Gippsland coast. Sale, the nearest regional centre, is approximately 55 kilometres to the west and provides access to shops, hospitals, and schools. Woodside Beach suits those seeking a quiet coastal retreat within Gippsland's spectacular natural landscape.
