Local Attractions
Pack the sails and hit Inverloch's protected waters and make sure you grab the binoculars for a spot of bird watching in one of Victoria's most popular estuaries.
This pretty seaside town on the spectacular Gippsland coastline offers a convenient array of accommodation and boat launching facilities and is perfect for water-based activities like swimming or surfing. Anderson Inlet is a haven for wind surfers. The shallow estuary is constantly changing and at low tide its sandy bottom is exposed and many species of waterbirds line the shores.
