Located about 140 kilometres southeast of Melbourne, Phillip Island has 97 kilometres or 60 miles of coastline replete with surfs and sheltered beaches, blowholes, caves, and rock formations.
On the north, sheltered bay beaches are ideal for families, where kids can swim and play in the shallows. Down south, you can surf in the gentle to solid waves. The island has one of Australia’s best surf breaks.
Cowes Beach
Cowes Beach is a long beach sand dotted with seaside facilities and amenities. Cowes is a popular beach destination for families, swimmers, and holidaymakers. The shallow waters are safe for the children. Lifesavers are regularly patrolling the beachside.
Ventnor Beach
If you’re not strong enough a swimmer to brave the rugged surfs of the south, Ventnor Beach is just right for you. It has fantastic ocean views across the Westernport channel. Ventnor is perfect for swimmers and sun-seekers. The waters are calm, and the ocean views are stunning. You can even view the Mornington Peninsula from here.
Red Rocks Beach
A sheltered bay beach on the north, Red Rocks Beach is popular with swimmers, especially in the summer months. Splash in the waters against the backdrop of red rocks, enjoy the calm waters or relax in the sand under the sun.
Smiths Beach
Known for its consistent waves, Smiths Beach is popular with families and young folks who are strong swimmers and love surfing. The beach is ideal for beginner surfers with its calm and gentle waves. Lifesavers are regularly patrolling the beachside.
Summerland Beach
The most popular beach in Phillip Island, Summerland Beach’s white sands are accessible only until dusk. The beach is closed off to give way to the stars of the day – the Little Penguins. It is the location of the spectacular penguin parade.
Shelly Beach
Shelly Beach is ideal for beginner surfers because of its gentle and small waves. The size of the waves is less than a meter. Its quiet atmosphere and amazing coastal views are ideal for sun-seekers, swimmers, and surfers alike.
Woolamai Surf Beach
Are you seeking a thrill? Then Woolamai Surf Beach is highly recommended for you. The solid rips and currents, rugged surf, and large waves made Woolamai an excellent place for pro surfers and action seekers. Plus, it is well-patrolled.
So, make the most of your stay on Phillip Island. The experience and the thrill would be worth it.
