Thirteenth Beach is a picturesque and rugged coastline located in Victoria. It is known for its long, clean beach that is quieter than most town beaches, making it a great place for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The beach is also a popular spot for dogs and horses, so visitors can expect to see some manure around the entrance.
The beach is particularly popular among surfers, with plenty of breaks to choose from for beginners to the more experienced. However, visitors should be aware that there may not always be life guards on duty.
In addition to surfing, the beach is also great for body surfing and a shallow dip. There are lookouts all the way along the road above, offering stunning views of the coastline.
During the winter, the beach can appear deserted, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and privacy. It's also a great place to bring your four-legged friends for a run off leash.
