San Remo is situated at the southern entrance to Western Port Bay and a bridge in the town centre provides a link from the mainland to the popular holiday destination of Phillip Island.

San Remo's commercial centre stretches along Marine Parade which runs parallel to Phillip Island Road and the bridge across to the island. Cafes, bakeries, two hotels, restaurants and gift shops line this tourist precinct. Across the road from the shops at the western end of Marine Parade is a park with BBQ and picnic areas that stretches down to a sandy beach.

San Remo is a well-known fishing village and is the base for Australia's largest shark fishing fleet. The main hub of boating activity occurs around the network of elevated walkways which constitutes the San Remo Jetty, offering direct access to both Western Port Bay and Bass Strait. On the beach foreshore adjacent to the San Remo Jetty pelicans are fed daily from freshly caught fish at 11:30am.

San Remo's Back Beach, accessed via Back Beach Road, is situated at the base of cliffs and offers scenic views across the water to nearby Phillip Island. Lions Park, which sits above the cliffs, features BBQ and picnic areas and a scenic clifftop walk. One of San Remo's most secluded beaches is Bore Beach, located at the southern end of the unsealed Potters Hill Road and facing Bass Strait. A scenic track winds its way down from the car park at the top of the cliffs down to a large stretch of sandy beach below.

The bridge across to Phillip Island links the heart of San Remo with the island's most easterly settlement, Newhaven. The one kilometre bridge was opened in 1969 and includes a pedestrian walkway which offers good views over San Remo, the jetty and towards Phillip Island for those that walk across.
