Little Oberon Bay, on the western side of Wilsons Promontory, is a small (250m long) beach which is nestled between tall mountains. The water is generally fairly calm, although it can get waves up to a 2m.

Although the beach gets a bit of passing traffic from bushwalkers doing the Wilsons Prom Southern Circuit, most of them don’t stop here so it also makes a nice day-trip where you won’t be sharing the beach with too many other people!
