Reviewed By G3995HVsaral - Melbourne, Australia
We parked at the southern end of Punchbowl Rd in San Remo, all the cars including ours were parked on the side of the road. Beautiful views started immediately. We walked to Punchbowl Coastal Reserve (marker 9) and back- it took 2.5hrs.. I blame it on my poor lockdown fitness and pregnant body, plus wearing hiking shoes that I haven't taken on a long hike before! Was only planning to allocate 1.5hrs previously! The track is popular both directions but not so busy that you don't have it to yourself for several minutes or more. Several options to access the beaches (just not for swimming/wading as waters are too rough and unpatrolled). I recommend a hat, sunblock, hiking shoes, water/ light snack as there are lots of exposed sections. Lots of steep sections too and gravel/sandy parts. One section was hard to follow with a lack of a marker but we managed to find it. Beautiful fresh air. Saw lots of people taking their dogs and kids (older kids are better).

The area is slowly starting to green up after the bushfires, it is as beautiful as ever. A lot of work has gone into building walkways along the coast line in town making for many parts an easy walk. It really is a very lovely area to walk and explore
3. Croajingolong National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 9 reviews
Croajingolong National Park follows the remote coast of far-east Victoria and is home to ancient forests, pristine inlets, giant sand dunes and abundant wildlife. Canoe, kayak or boat to explore Tamboon, Mallacoota and Wingan Inlet. Basic but picturesque campgrounds are scattered along the many inlets of the coast along this part of Victoria. These sheltered water bodies are also perfect for fishing. Explore the diverse nature of Croajingolong and set out on one of the shorter walks within the park or experienced hikers might fancy the ultimate challenge of the Wilderness Coast Walk. Near Thurra River, you can see the historic lighthouse of Point Hicks. Take in ocean views and see whales on their annual migration from October to May.

Gorgeous beach whether it be sunny or windy! Kite surf for the husband with wind in all directions, beautiful beach and dunes which shelter. Parking pretty easy even in summer. Can't go wrong. Shallow in places ideal for the young ones and new kite surfers like me!
5. Wilsons Promontory National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 745 reviews
Wilsons Promontory National Park is the southernmost tip of mainland Australia. Walk remote coastal bushland trails and swim at pristine beaches dominated by granite tors. Camp in comfort at family-friendly Tidal River or hike to a more secluded campsite. Either way, the local wombats, kangaroos and emus are waiting to meet you. Swim at Norman Beach or one of The Prom's more secluded beaches. Go snorkelling for a unique underwater view of Victoria's largest marine national park. Scale the granite peaks of Mount Bishop or Mount Oberon for panoramic views, or enjoy an overnight hike. In the north there's a remote and rugged wilderness to explore, while the south is home to the historic Wilsons Promontory Lightstation and Sealers Cove.

Lovely spot, plenty of quite tame bird life, seating, lake. Used to be water for steam trains a long time ago. One of Traralgon’s few beautiful special spots.

There are guides to explain different aspects of the architecture. There is an interesting history to the painted ceiling.

Went with family. A short walk to the beach from the car park. Best to cross to the main beach closer to the rocks. The sand is pure white and feels like talcum powder. The beach definitely squeaks. A memorable experience.

If your visiting Paynesville and you have some spare time, come across to Raymond Island and say hello to our local wildlife. Jump on the free ferry for those on foot or bicycle, even bring your pooch and try and spot a koala bear or even an echidna. Depends on what time of the day you visit you may even glimpse one of the many kangaroos as well. Quite often they're close by the ferry welcoming you into their back yard. Bring your food and drinks as there are barbeques, but no shops. So come and enjoy the hospitality of the locals.

Delicious lunch with friends. 2 artsy comfy rooms inside, 2 outside deck areas or sit out the front under the trees, or enjoy the outside fire. Friendly service appreciated. Men folk ordered the burger, made from steak minced on site - you could tell it was awesome, all the best extras including pineapple, served with the best chips with rosemary/garlic salt. They could not stop raving, best burger ever. My friend had the Korean Beef Bowl, it was amazing and I had the Thai Seafood Soup, so delicious and just bordering on not too hot. Beautiful presentation and good care taken with the meals. The wines were delicious. We ate inside and then took another bottle of wine to the front garden. Lovely surroundings. While casual, was a quality experience. Coming back again and bringing our out of town friends. You can also arrive by boat but let them know ahead and they will pick you up from the jetty.
