Forget Queensland, Sydney's popular coastal attractions or Tasmania's Bay of Fires… a Victorian beach has been named Australia's best for 2024.

Squeaky Beach, in the state's south-east, is the first Victorian beach to claim the title.

The pool will be closed all week, reopening Monday 22nd January.

For more information - see below 👇🏻

⛔️ Closure alert ⛔️
If you're planning on heading to the Hastings area this coming week, please be aware Hastings Springs Reserve will be closed from Monday 15 January 2024 for important pool maintenance. The Reserve walks and barbecues are expected to reopen Wednesday 17 January, with the pool reopening Monday 22 January 2024.

Don't despair - there is still plenty to see and do in the area, with the spectacular underground world of Hastings (Newdegate) Cave, several short walks, or that end-of-the-earth drive experience out to Cockle Creek, Australia's southernmost point accessible by road.
