The walk is a short 1km return trip that is an easy stroll along the boardwalk around the inlet where birds feed on the foreshore. Then cross the bridge to explore a remote and wild stretch of Ninety Mile Beach.
Just 15 minutes from Yarram or 10 minutes from Woodside, McLoughlins Beach is amongst the southernmost beaches on the Ninety Mile Beach.
