Cunninghame
Arm
Gippsland Lakes
Forming part of the Gippsland Lakes,
Cunninghame Arm is narrow stretch of water separating the fishing and
summer tourist town of
Lakes
Entrance from the Ninety Mile Beach and Bass Strait. A footbridge
across Cunninghame Arm, mid town, provides easy access to the
Main Beach (Ninety
Mile Beach) a short distance across the dunes. Cunninghame Arm,
today a safe harbour for the Lakes Entrance fishing fleet and a
boating playground, was the natural drainage channel of the Gippsland
Lakes, allowing shipping access, when the bar was breached, between
the Gippsland Lakes and the sea before the construction of the
permanent entrance in 1899.
