Parks & Nature
Bells Beach
Ironbark Basin Nature Trail
Ironbark Basin Nature TrailMy favourite place to go for walks!
Point Addis is a “nude beach” technically, but I find on busy hot summers day, it’s not too much. It’s just much quieter than the main spots and I personally think the views and nature are beautiful out here.

Anglesea
Head to their golf course and you are sure to see all the kangaroos
Busiest beach in summer but less waves meaning easy beach for swimming.
