Squeaky Beach
The famous white sand of the pristine Squeaky beach is named so because of the noise it makes when you stroll along it! Enclosed by impressive boulders at both ends of the beach, the white sand and clear water earn it the title of one of the most photographed beaches!

Owned by Marcus and Lisa, a couple local to the area, the Dirty Three Wines is named after the three close-by patches of dirt (vineyards) where their grapes are grown.
The contemporary space is located in the heart of Inverloch and perfect for enjoying a drink, as they make Riesling, chardonnay, Shiraz and their most popular pinot noir. Enjoy a tipple of wine, local beers, gin or coffee at the Tasting Room, alongside a platter of local cheese and charcutiers.
