Squeaky Beach(Squeaky Beach Wilson Promotory)

Located within Wilsons Promontory National Park, Victoria, Australia, Squeaky Beach - also known as Squeaky Beach Wilsons Prom - is a one-kilometer-long beach famous for its fine, rounded, white quartz sand. The sand emits a "squeaking" sound that occurs due to the high quartz content and the uniform size of the sand grains, when walked on, hence its name. The beach is one of Wilsons Promontory's most iconic beaches in Victoria, which is enclosed by impressive granite boulders on both end, lush vegetation, and a small stream that drains into the beach. The unique sand formation is the result of centuries of weathering and erosion of quartz rocks.  Squeaky Beach is within a protected marine park, which is promoted as an ecotourism destination, encouraging sustainable tourism practices that preserve its natural environment and the marine life of the region.
