Visit Lake Tyers Beach for dreamy, windswept sands and vivid blue horizons.
Lake Tyers Beach is the quieter neighbour of Lakes Entrance's swimming beaches, located a 10 minute drive east of Lakes Entrance. While this beach is regarded as a swimming beach, it is unpatrolled, and care must be taken with rips and strong surf.
With an unfettered view out into the Tasman, this is the perfect place for a spot of photography. Bring your binoculars and head to the lookout, where you can do some whale watching during migration season.
If you are after a safe swim, head lakeside. The lake is a calm, family-friendly place to pop on the bathers and have a splash, with much warmer temperatures than the ocean. You can also enjoy some fishing and light water sports – there's a boat ramp, and kayaks are also welcome.
Lake Tyers
Lake Tyers’ belly sits next to the coastline, with a couple of large arms that shoot to the north like fiery bolts of lightning. Within these arms, there are secluded spots where you can hear only the cicadas and the splosh of a fish jumping from the gentle waters.
There is a jetty and boat ramp at the town entrance.
Jet skiing is permitted in the lower lake.
Swimming
Swimming is safest in the lake waters as the beach is unpatrolled and is prone to strong rips. For surfing, the best nearby breaks are east at West Cape, Cape Conran or Red Bluff. The nearest patrolled swimming beaches are at Lakes Entrance, 10 minutes drive west.
Fishing & boating at Lake Tyers Beach
There is boat ramp access into the lake.
The fishing gods have been kind to these waters; the lake is abundant with flathead, bream, crabs and prawns. Fish like to bite at Burnt Bridge, Crystal Bay and Cherry Tree.
Restaurants & Cafes in Lake Tyers
