Why you'll love it
Phillip Island sits at the entrance to Western Port, about two hours from Melbourne, and is joined to the mainland by a bridge at San Remo. It scores 9 out of 10 for families, nature and safety, with wildlife, surf beaches and wild coastline.
The best time to visit Phillip Island is December to March, when the days are long and warm enough for the beaches.
Watch little penguins come ashore at sunset at the Penguin Parade, and see koalas at the Koala Conservation Reserve. Walk the boardwalks at the Nobbies and Cape Woolamai, and visit the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Cowes has a calm bay beach, cafés and a pier.
Phillip Island suits families, couples and anyone who loves wildlife.
