About Phillip Island


Accessible by passenger ferry from Crib Point or by bridge from San Remo, Phillip Island is a popular holiday destination for Melburnians. The rugged southern coastline of the Island faces Bass Strait & offers some of the best surf beaches in Victoria, while the protected northern beaches nestle into Westernport Bay & provide excellent areas for swimming, sailing, boating & fishing. Cowes, on the bay side, is the largest township on the Island & offers a lively range of restaurants, shops and family attractions. Often described as Victoria’s natural attraction, Phillip Island has an abundance of wildlife including the ever-popular colony of Little Penguins, koala & fur seal colonies.
