Why you'll love it
Lakes Entrance is in East Gippsland, Victoria, where the Gippsland Lakes meet Ninety Mile Beach, about four hours from Melbourne. It scores 9 out of 10 for safety, and 8 for families and nature, with calm lakes for boating and a long ocean beach.
The best time to visit Lakes Entrance is December to March, the warmest months for swimming and time on the water.
Walk the footbridge across to Ninety Mile Beach, and hire a boat or kayak on the lakes. Buy fresh seafood from the fishing fleet, and take a cruise to nearby Metung. Families can visit the playgrounds and mini golf along the Esplanade, and the Buchan Caves are a short drive inland.
Lakes Entrance suits families, couples and anyone who likes boating, fishing and quiet beaches.
