Stopped here by coincidence after going to kitty miller bay, Past the GP track. Saw the cafe sign and stopped on the way home. Relaxed and cool vibe. Staff provided excellent customer service and the coffee and food was great. Quiet farm cafe scene looking over r paddocks. Permaculture farm with healthy food. Lots of room for kids to play. They had little games outside and a few farm animals around like the horse. Lovely sunny day it was awesome to relax and listen to the music. Well worth the visit and will definitely go again.

A must walk with grandiose scenery.Fantastic granit pinnacles,intense blue waves, beautiful surf beach. The burrows belong to the shearwaters or mutton birds , silent during the day and invading the sky at sunset. The best part of Philip Island.

Sheer majesty and beauty of this area cannot be denied. We spent a while here just sitting and looking, the drive around the coast from the Nobbies centre is such a beautiful drive, with several lookout spots along the way.

We arrived on speculation, without any bookings and were surprised to find we could commence a tour, after a tasty lunch. The staff could not have been more helpful, particularly Kipp, a young personable student on a vacation job, who was knowledgeable and friendly. The museum, included in the tour price, was small but interesting and the shop was well stocked. The guided tour was comprehensive and took in all areas behind scenes and the added extra was that bikes were racing round as part of a private hire day. Perfect day not to be missed.
5. Pyramid Rock

Reviewed By Swisshen - Melbourne, Australia
Pyramid Rock rises up out of the Bass Straight. This place is wild and beautiful with the amazing waves crashing against the rock. Best time to visit is sunrise or sunset but still worth a visit. There is ample car parking, and two viewing platforms, and one that is wheelchair accessible. If you go just before dusk you may see some Swamp Wallabies hopping around.
6. Amess House

Reviewed By Swisshen - Melbourne, Australia
This beautifully preserved house dates from the 1870's and was the summer house of Samuel Amess who built many notable Melbourne buildings including the Treasury, the 'Old Exchange', the Customs House. The house has many period features and gives a great insight to Victorian homes.

8. SS Speke Shipwreck

Reviewed By MASK_3551 - Bendigo, Australia
Parking at Kitty Miller beach, go down the stairs and turn left. Walk along the beach and rocks for 100 metre and you will see a steep track on your left. Head up this track then follow it around for around 600 metres and you will find the SS Speke Shipwreck. There is a very steep slippery path down to the shipwreck. Well worth the effort to get down there. Have a look at the information sign st the base of the walk to gather s true feeling of how big this ship was. Great but oh history and just general amazement. Walk can be done in thongs however recommended to do in shoes Low tide is the best time to see all the parts of the ship. High tide you will only see the top portion Definitely not suitable for ederley, frail or wheelchairs. No toilets at this site. Refer to photos posted to see access tracks. Highly recommended
9. Cape Woolamai Walk
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Blewbery - Knoxfield, Australia
This walk is supposed to take 3 hours. My almost-adult daughter and I did it in 2, with stops to take 40+ photos, because the scenery around every corner is magical. Hot tip #1 - drive as far as you can. To the last car park with the cafe. Hot tip # 2 - the walk starts along the beach. The first sign in the car park points you in the right direction. Then you walk along the beach towards the cliffs for what seems like way too long. Eventually you will come across the stairs that take you off the beach and onto the trail. From then on, you won’t be stopping to catch your breath, purely for photos. Hot tip #3 - don’t be fooled into taking the ‘short’ trip back via the same beach. Stay right on the trail and head to the quarry. The less-rugged scenery isn’t quite as spectacular, but the contrast is amazing. Follow the inland beach for what seems like another eternity until you find the walk-though. Straight back to the car park. If anyone knows of a better 2-3 hour walk within 2 hours of Melbourne, please let me know!!

This was an amazing hidden gem. Stared at the Cape Woolamai Life Saving club car park to the sandy trail called ‘Cleeland Bight’ - lucky it was low tide along the beach to the Old Granite Quarry. Then up the steps to ‘The Beacon’ - onwards to the Pinnacles which was sensational. All in all an 8.6k walk - with plenty of stops for pics! Saw wallabies, lizards, butterflies and a huge selection of birds!
