Outdoor activities – Phillip Island

Riding bikes on the Cowes Foreshore

Get away from it all with just family, friends and local wildlife with Phillip Island's diverse outdoor pursuits.

Fun around the water
Paddle in the shallows of a gentle bay beach, cruise the bay in a catamaran, join a kayak adventure to see Rhyll Inlet's waterbirds, or catch a perfect wave at Woolamai Beach at dawn. Make the leap from wannabe surfer to experienced pro with a lesson from a local surfer.

Dangle a line from a jetty at Newhaven, San Remo or Cowes to provide the family with a fishy feast. For an almost guaranteed catch, take a fishing charter out into Westernport Bay.

Dry land activities
It's easy to spend hours outdoors on Phillip Island, with over 1800 hectares of the tiny island occupied by nature parks. Enjoy walks through stunning scenery or hire a bike and take leisurely pedals along smooth cycling tracks.
