Tucked between the rolling dunes of the Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park and the wild Southern Ocean, Paradise Beach is a long stretch of golden sand offering superb swimming and ocean snorkeling. The beach sits adjacent to Lake Reeves, creating a unique coastal-lakeside environment. The waters here are generally clear and inviting, with sand bottom giving way to seagrass beds near the lake entrance. Overlooked by a campground with 12 unpowered sites, it's a quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot perfect for a relaxed day in the water.
