Lakes Entrance - Lakes Entrance
A much loved Victorian holiday spot, Lakes Entrance enjoys a spectacular position on the edge of Ninety Mile Beach where the Gippsland Lakes meet the Southern Ocean.
Relax in the easy seaside charm of the town or head to the waters for a myriad of activities. You can take it easy and enjoy a boat cruise on the Gippsland Lakes, the largest inland network of waterways in Australia, or get more active and hire a paddleboat or catamaran in the summer months.
Cross the footbridge to the popular Ninety Mile Beach surf beach, which is patrolled by lifesavers in summer, or take a hike to the entrance of the Lakes. Head to Jemmy’s Point Lookout for sweeping views of the town, lakes and the entrance.
Spoil yourself with a cruise aboard the Corque winery boat and savour tastings, lunch or dinner at Wyanga Park Winery. You can also catch your own fish or visit fresh seafood shops. Lakes Entrance is renowned for its seafood due to the large number of fishing trawlers operating in the area.
Make Lakes Entrance your base as you explore the historic Nyerimilang Homestead and Park and the beautiful Lake Tyers Township and the Lake Tyers Forest Park.
Play a round of golf at either one of the golf courses or, if 18 holes is not your style, try your hand at one of the mini golf parks.
Lakes Entrance is approximately four hours from Melbourne along the Princes Highway. It is serviced daily by rail to Bairnsdale and then coach to Lakes Entrance from Melbourne. Public transport is available from Bairnsdale to Lakes Entrance.
