Just a stone's throw from Lakes Entrance, Eastern Beach is the perfect place to spend a hot summer's day.

Stretch out on the golden sand, cool off in the sparkling water or simply relax and soak up the coastal scenery.

At Eastern Beach, you'll find barbecues, a playground for the kiddos and bathroom facilities, all conveniently located right by the water's edge.

Fire up the BBQ for a beachside feast, then take a refreshing dip in the sea to cool off before settling in for an afternoon by the coast.
