A few minutes' drive from the centre of town, Thompson's
Beach is located in an idyllic setting and is a lovely spot to soak up

Voted Australia's 12th best beach in 2012, Thompson's Beach
is a Murray River highlight. Towering river red gums, a white sandy beach and
evening floodlights make this the perfect spot to relax and hang out with
friends and family from dawn till after dusk. Families, anglers and kayakers
mingle along this long, gentle bend in the river. On the eastern edge of
Cobram, and just a couple of minutes' drive from Barooga, the largest inland
beach in the Southern Hemisphere is set in a beautiful location on the Murray
River. Thompson's Beach has electric barbecues, a playground, and hosts plenty
of activities like swimming, trail walking, beach cricket, volleyball, canoeing
and fishing. If you are feeling extra fancy, you can even dine at the popular
Beach cafe. Despite its popularity, Thompson's Beach is large enough to never
feel crowded. Whether you are a local or a visitor, you will have plenty of
room to spread out and enjoy your river beach experience.
