Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, Phillip Island is a world of its own. Breathtaking natural beauty, myriad attractions, energetic outdoor pursuits, roaring motor sports and fresh waterfront dining depict the iconic penguin region.

The gateway to Phillip Island, San Remo is known for its delectable fresh seafood. Visitors can relax by the beach, take a fishing charter or explore the area and tackle the round trip George Bass Coastal Walk to Kilcunda.

Just across the only bridge onto the island, Newhaven is a picturesque fishing village with the jetty, boat ramp and popular marina area. Drive, cycle or even kayak over to Churchill Island or relax in the café in the gracious old gardens. Home to migratory birds, koalas and native vegetation, Rhyll offers nature at its best as well as city-quality accommodation, food and wine.

Head to the island’s commercial hub and main town, Cowes, and recharge in seaside eateries, browse in shops and galleries or see an exhibition at Cowes Cultural Centre. Visit the local museum to learn more about Phillip Island, experience the buzz at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, and don’t forget to include the iconic Penguin Parade or join a wildlife cruise to see the colony of 30,000 Australian fur seals at Seal Rocks.

For the perfect holiday getaway visit Phillip Island to view nature at it’s finest.
