First Beach

📖 About First Beach

First Beach is a wild, unspoilt stretch of coastline in Cape Nelson State Park near Portland in southwest Victoria, part of the Great South West Walk corridor. Backed by windswept heathland and rugged cliffs overlooking the Southern Ocean, it offers dramatic scenery and solitude but is unpatrolled with strong swells, making it better suited to experienced surfers and coastal walkers than swimmers. Wildlife including red-necked wallabies and echidnas are often spotted in the surrounding park.
