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.
