Find your holiday sweet spot on naturally playful Phillip Island.

Just a short drive from Melbourne but a world away. Phillip Island packs an amazing grab-bag of things to see, do and play into its 101 square kilometres. It’s a haven for caravan, cabins and camping with a range of holiday parks in great locations including beachfront, next door to popular attractions, in town or in the bush.

Start your island escape with idyllic beaches and rugged coastal settings. Slate in time to witness the Little Penguins’ nightly parade, visit a wildlife park or take a cruise out to Seal Rocks.

Wander through nature reserves and world-renowned wetlands. You’re literally surrounded by beaches here. Plunge in for swimming, surfing, rockpool rambling, paddling in the shallows or shell-spotting on the sand. Ready to play? Try indoor wall climbing, mini golfing, ten pin bowling or maze solving.

Taste your way through waterfront restaurants, cute cafés, pubs, boutique wineries and breweries. Fresh local seafood for the win, especially when it’s fish and chips on the foreshore.

Don’t forget to look up. The island’s clear skies and uninterrupted views are perfect for family stargazing and convo’s about the night sky.
