We have a lovely block of land tucked away a couple of streets back from the beach. 200 m from the local shop and 350 m from the main entrance to the beach. There is a lot of shade and a cleared area as well. We have done some more clearing now and it is easy to get any sized vehicle into the property. My daughter had her Toyota. Coaster there on flat ground without any hassles this weekend. One caravan would fit and probably two. You can hear the waves and birds chirping, it is a beautiful part of Australia. Lots of mozzies so come prepared! The town does not have a water supply so you have to bring your own water. You can fill up containers near the hall for a reasonable price. Hot water showers at the shop are $4 for 4 minutes. there are free bbq’s at the beach. the shop has everything, good food, coffee, supermarket, bottle shop and good prices fuel. usually only a handful of people at the beach except on major holidays but even then we are talking maybe 40 people in kilometres of beach. Beach fishing is extremely popular. Unless there is a fire ban I am happy for you to have a little fire and we have a big pile of wood.

Welcome to beautiful Paradise Beach.
This property is just a street away from beach access to the stunning 90 mile beach, suitable for fishing or long peaceful walks. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife and make sure to catch the wonderful sunrises and sun sets.
The property slopes down from the roadside to a flat clearing surrounded by trees for privacy. There is room to pitch a tent (or a few) and still have space for seating, a campfire or portable shelter. You'll find the entrance to the clearing from the 22 sign at the front of the property.
Vehicles can be parked roadside, and camping equipment carried the few metres down to the clearing.
Guests will need to be fully self contained as there is no power, water, washing facilities, sewage or potable water on the site, only peace and quite and easy access to the Beach. Guests will need to take all rubbish with them including biodegradable waste, food, cigarette butts, etc.
Please note that this campsite is for quiet enjoyment only with sound to be kept to a minimum in the evening. Sound can carry easily, especially at night and we don't want to upset the residents of neighbouring properties.
Campfires can be lit but fire danger ratings and restrictions must be strictly adhered to. You are welcome to use any available wood that we generally stack throughout the year.
Pets are allowed but are required to be on a leash and under control.
Please note that there are often mosquitos in this area due to the nearby shallow lakes and therefore we highly recommend you bring adequate insect repellent.
The property is located 3.5 hours east of Melbourne. A short drive down the road you'll find Golden Beach that has a general store, a takeaway shop, great picnic areas, bathrooms and shower facilities for a small fee. There are also toilets at the nearby Paradise Beach Campground. Loch Sport is 25 minutes away and the larger town of Sale is 30 minutes away so all amenities are within short access.

Loved everything about this place! A great location close to the beach and a short drive to facilities and the store at Golden Beach. The site itself feels private even though there are many houses around. A nice place to do basic camping and feel "away from it all", with plenty of wildlife. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful time! So close to the beach, I don’t know if we were just lucky but we were the only ones on the beach every time we went down. The property is so close to the beach you get to fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We set up towards the front of the block and enjoyed beautiful sunshine!!! Perfect little spot. There were some mozzies but nothing a coil or two didn’t fix. We had a great time thanks so much.

It’s a great set up for dogs and kids. So much space and fresh air! We had a lovely 3 nights with 3 generations and 2 dogs. The love shack and add-on facilities are very rustic, but that is what we were expecting as accurrsye. is reflected by the price. Kate made some great suggestions for activities.

My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Love Shack, one of those places that makes you want to extend your stay and come again. The scenery was beautiful and the amenities were plenty! We camped on the grass with a tent and it rained our last night but the ground stayed solid and not muddy, helpful for when we were packing up. Will definitely return again hopefully with friends this time!

The Love Shack was absolutely exquisite in every way shape and form. Charming, cosy, warm, and delightfully secluded. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The space had an enchanting atmosphere that made it feel both magical and intimate. Kate’s thoughtful touches were evident throughout and genuinely appreciated, adding a layer of care that made the experience feel even more special.
Although we had planned to explore the nearby national park, we found ourselves not wanting to leave the environment at all and just simply soaking up the beautiful energy of the space. It truly was the perfect weekend escape.
Thank you so much, Kate we’ll definitely be back!

Such a beautiful spot! My friend and I had the perfect weekend away, she was very comfortable in the “love shack” and I stayed in my RV out the front. sitting by the fire inside was magical and toasty warm. I happened to meet the lovely hosts as they were heading out and they went out of their way to help me out with an issue I had. I can’t wait to stay again maybe with a big group!

Enjoyable stay! It is a residential 'bush block' within the small Paradise Beach community. It's easy to access through either of the two lockable gates. We opted to have the back of the caravan to the neighbour's house, and open up out to the rest of the block which provided some privacy. The photos show the block quite green, at this time (end of summer, start of autumn) the central common area of the block is a bit of a mix between sand and dirt, the grass having left long ago. The back half of the block is beautifully grassed over, and has a heap of shade provided by the trees on the block. When the sun is out it provides an amazing escape and is really nice to sit under and read a book. If you have a swag or tent this would be the ideal area to setup. There's some small water tanks onsite, and there's plenty of firewood and a bbq, we didn't use either of those as the weather was quite warm. Walk to the beach is really nice, 50m up the street, over a ditch, through a 'bush tunnel' and out on to the beach. It's a really fun walk, our kids loved it and spotted the rabbits running around as we went to the beach. It provided a great base to setup and explore more of the area, including Golden Beach and heading over for swims at Loch Sport. If you're self-contained, it's an ideal spot away from the busier end of Golden Beach that seems to fill out over long weekends. Overall value, location, cleanliness, ease of access, communication from the hosts, 10/10.
