Introduction:

Inverloch is a seaside resort and fishing port, located 12 kilometres east of Wonthaggi, and just over an hour's drive from the heart of Wilsons Promontory National Park.

Inverloch's main commercial centre is centred around A'Beckett Street and extends into adjoining Williams Street, Ramsey Boulevard and to Reilly Street where a supermarket is located.

The town itself sits on the coast at the mouth of Andersons Inlet, fronting the calm waters of this sheltered inlet and also the open waters of Venus Bay in Bass Strait. Inverloch's main foreshore reserve extends from the commercial centre right down to the beach at the entrance to Andersons Inlet. Head west from here for surf beaches and a rocky coastline, while east along the inlet leads to sheltered swimming and boating areas with a jetty. Located on the foreshore is the Bunurong Environment Centre which has a gift shop and a shell museum which houses one of the country's largest private shell collections.

Not to be missed is the 12 kilometre scenic coastal drive from Inverloch to the seaside community of Cape Paterson, passing through Bunurong Marine Park. Spectacular views can be enjoyed from spots along this coastal road, and there are various natural coastal and marine attractions along this route allowing visitors to stop and explore, such as Eagles Nest, Twin Reefs, Shack Bay, The Caves and Flat Rocks.
