Phillip Island is a great family holiday destination. The drive is under two hours from Melbourne. Phillip Island offer you wildlife experiences, and plenty of opportunities to get into the water.

San Remo is the last town before leaving the mainland. It is the gateway to Phillip Island. Drop into the famous local fishing co-op to pick up a fresh lobster and watch the local pelicans descend on the San Remo wharf for their 11.30am daily feed.

The first town on the island is the small fishing village of Newhaven - a popular place for fishing. If you are into surfing,  Newhaven offers one of the best surf beaches in Victoria. You will enjoy walking along the beautiful Cape Woolamai as well as exploring nearby historic Churchill Island.

On the south-east tip of the island is the quiet village of Rhyll. Wander through the nearby Koala Conservation Centre and Woodland to see koalas at close range  as well as  view birds as you walk through the famous wetlands at Rhyll Inlet.

Cowes, is the main commercial centre on Phillip Island. It has a wealth of  cafes and posh restaurants for visitors to enjoy. You should enjoy a wildlife cruise to the large fur seal colony on Seal Rocks and enjoy watching hundreds of Little Penguins returning to their burrows at the nightly Penguin Parade at nearby Summerland Beach.
