Beaches and Bays

From Frankston to Portsea are the most picturesque Peninsula Beaches on Port Phillip Bay including Dromana, Rosebud and Sorrento.

On Westernport Bay the beaches at Somers, Pt. Leo and Shoreham offer very safe swimming and lovely walks. Close by Somers is a large colony of koalas. All beaches are an easy drive from our park.

Victoria is probably the most sports orientated state in Australia. From our park you have easy access to all sports including golf, football, horseriding, motor racing and the international standard National Water Sports Centre, the venue for water skiing, rowing and canoeing.

The bays offer wonderful fishing from jetty or boat and for the more adventurous it is very easy to get to Bass Straight.
