About Lake Tyers Beach
Lake Tyers Beach is a small coastal locality in East Gippsland, Victoria, situated approximately 8 kilometres east of Lakes Entrance within the Shire of East Gippsland local government area. With a population of 802 across a compact 6.3 square kilometres, it is one of the smaller settlements in the region, positioned along the shores of Lake Tyers — one of Victoria's significant and unspoiled coastal lake systems. The area lies approximately 320 kilometres east of Melbourne and attracts a mix of permanent residents, holiday homeowners, and those drawn to the natural beauty of the East Gippsland coastline. The median household income of around 6,602 reflects a largely retired and seasonal residential community.
Lake Tyers itself is the centrepiece of the locality, offering calm waters for fishing, kayaking, and boating, while nearby ocean beaches provide swimming and surf opportunities. Most day-to-day shopping, dining, and services are accessed in Lakes Entrance — just a short drive to the west — which serves as the regional hub for accommodation, restaurants, and supermarkets. There is no rail service to Lake Tyers Beach; the nearest train station is Bairnsdale approximately 50 kilometres to the north-west on the Gippsland Line, making a private vehicle essential. The area's quiet natural setting makes it especially popular with retirees, holiday-makers, and nature lovers seeking a peaceful escape in Gippsland.
Lake Tyers Beach falls under postcode 3909 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gippsland East (Eastern Victoria) electorate.
