Swan Lake beach Vic

In Discovery bay Coastal Park  it’s a 1km walk across dune buggy infested sand dunes to the mouth of a small creek from the Swan Lake campsite. It’s a seemingly endless trudge with not much reward until you get to the beach where you’ll find that the beach birds love this spot.

It isn’t possible to get a vehicle down here to camp.
