Your Perfect Coastal Escape in South Gippsland
Around 2 hours from Melbourne, Venus Bay is a peaceful coastal retreat surrounded by unspoiled beaches, scenic landscapes, and a warm, welcoming community. With five stunning beaches to choose from—including the popular Beach No. 1, patrolled by the Venus Bay Surf Lifesaving Club in summer—there’s no shortage of spots to swim, surf, or relax by the ocean.
For boating and fishing, Anderson Inlet is just minutes away, offering calm waters perfect for kayaking or simply soaking in the views.
The local First Estate shopping strip has everything you need: a general store (with groceries, takeaway, coffee, and a bottle shop), The Cavity restaurant, a pizza shop, ice cream and fish and chips and two real estate offices.
Looking to explore? Nearby towns like Tarwin Lower (6 mins), Inverloch (20 mins), and Wonthaggi (30 mins) and Leongatha (25 mins) can help with your shopping needs, other towns such as Foster (30 mins), Meeniyan (20 mins) and Fish Creek (15 mins) offer charming cafes, shops, and coastal sights. Around 45 minutes away, Wilsons Promontory National Park promises unforgettable hikes, beaches, and wildlife.
Don’t miss the spectacular Point Smythe Walking Track—a peaceful trail through coastal bushland with sweeping views of the Bass Strait and Wilsons Prom. It’s a haven for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and anyone looking to disconnect and breathe in the sea air.
Whether you're here for a quiet beachside break or an active outdoor adventure, Venus Bay is the ideal base to experience the best of South Gippsland. Discover why so many return year after year—Venus Bay is the coastal gem you didn’t know you needed.
