The small coastal resort of Venus Bay is situated on a narrow peninsula of land, bordered on one side by the wild oceans of Bass Strait and on the other by the calm waters of Anderson Inlet which extends all the way from Inverloch to the mouth of the Tarwin River, located near the small township of Tarwin Lower.

Venus Bay is very much a holiday town, with a large collection of houses and units available for holiday rental and a 4 star caravan park, all located within a short distance of the coast. The town's commercial centre, situated on Jupiter Boulevard, features a general store and a number of speciality shops. Internet access is available at the Venus Bay Caravan Park.

Several surf beaches are located in Venus Bay, with boating and fishing popular along the extensive waters of Anderson Inlet. The Cape Liptrap Coastal Park, which extends along the coast to Waratah Bay, offers a number of scenic bushwalking tracks.

Venus Bay is central to many natural attractions in the South Gippsland area, including Wilsons Promontory National Park, which is just under an hour's drive east.
