Quick Facts Woodside Beach Victoria, Coordinates ...

Woodside Beach is close to the starting point of the Ninety Mile Beach, which starts at Port Albert and extends to Lakes Entrance. This led to it being the focal point of light car speed trials in 1938.[4] In the 1950s fish stock in the area were notable.[5] Due to its location it can be affected by storm surges,[6] and at various times items from accidents nearby at sea get washed onto the beach.[7]
