Locality
Venus Bay, a small coastal town located 165km south east of Melbourne just past Wonthaggi, is one of Victoria's best kept holiday secrets. Travel time from City via Monash Freeway is approximately 2 hours.
The town is nestled into the sand dunes on a narrow peninsula of land bordered on one side by the ocean beaches of Bass Strait and on the other by the calm waters of Anderson Inlet Strait close to the township. The golden sandy beaches stretch for 22km and include five superb surf beaches that are patrolled by surf lifesavers in the summer months. Anderson's Inlet is the state's longest sand spit. Stroll along the 2km walking path, discover the rich bird life in the wetlands and mangroves or try fishing in the Inlet's sheltered waters.
The huge beaches are great for surfing, ocean fishing, swimming, walking, windsurfing, body surfing and beachcombing.
The coastline from Venus Bay to Cape Liptrap offers visitors the chance to see an old lighthouse and native Australian plants and wildlife. Explore the rugged natural beauty of Venus Bay with a bushwalk in Cape Liptrap Coastal Park to spot the wildlife and admire the striking scenery.
The Tarwin River flows into Venus Bay providing a tidal river which is perfect for river and estuary fishing. Fishing platforms along the bank provide excellent access to the river for anglers. Alternatively, cycle the bike path from Venus Bay to Tarwin Lower or just stroll along the boardwalk which follows Tarwin River.
Venus Bay is also central to many natural attractions in the South Gippsland area, situated midway between Wilsons Promontory National Park which is just under an hour's drive east and Philip Island
