Northern Beaches

Northern Beaches

Located along the Ovens River, this secluded part of Wangaratta offers a walking and bike trail that makes the most of the unspoilt natural beauty.

There are two beaches in this area - Platypus Beach and Kingfisher Beach. Both are small and sandy and appropriately named after some of the local wildlife found in the area.

The area is full of wonderful native Australian wildlife including Bats, Possums, Sugar Gliders, Echidna’s, Long-necked turtles and Platypus. During the day you may also be lucky enough to see a variety of birds including Azure Kingfishers, White-throated and Brown Treecreepers, Eastern Yellow Robins and Grey Shrike-thrush.

Northern Beaches Wangaratta can be reached either by following Bullawah Cultural Trail from Apex Park or by car via Park Lane and College Street behind the Barr Reserve.

The Northern Beaches are approved off-leash dog areas, but please be mindful of wildlife, and of other people on the beach especially children.
