Sandy Point is a township in south Gippsland, Victoria near Wilsons Promontory, as well as the southernmost town in mainland Australia. At the 2016 census, Sandy Point had a population of 270, growing to several thousand during the holiday period. It is surrounded by areas of significant natural heritage.

Sandy Point is one of the few coastal towns in the region to remain relatively unaffected by the housing boom along the coast. This is partly due to its distance from Melbourne (around 2 hours), and the fact that a lack of town sewerage has meant a ban on further sub-division.
