Local Tips for Inverloch
Summer Population 10x
Inverloch's permanent population of ~6,856 swells massively during summer holidays. Expect queues at toilets, especially near the beaches 11am–2pm.
Bunurong Coast = No Toilets
Once you pass Surf Beach heading east, there are ZERO toilets along the entire Bunurong coast until Cape Paterson. Use the SLSC before exploring.
Surf Beach is Patrolled
Inverloch SLSC patrols the surf beach during summer. Flags up on weekends and school holidays. The inlet beach is not patrolled but is much calmer.
Low Tide for Dinosaur Footprint
The dinosaur footprint at The Caves is only visible at low tide. Check tide times before heading out — and remember there are no toilets out there.
After Dark
The boat ramp and foreshore toilets are open 24 hours. Inverloch is a quiet, safe town but bring a torch in winter — not all paths are well lit.
Getting Here
140km southeast of Melbourne via the South Gippsland Highway. About 1 hour 45 minutes drive. No public transport worth relying on.
Things to Do in Inverloch
Bass Coast's family-friendly gem. Two beaches, dinosaur fossils, marine parks, and the kind of small-town charm that makes Melbourne families buy holiday houses here.
Surf Beach
Patrolled in summer with decent waves for learning. The SLSC runs nippers on weekends. Sandy bottom, no rocks. The kind of beach where kids can run wild and you can actually relax.
Flat Rocks Dinosaur Dig
Real dinosaur fossils in the rock platform. 115-million-year-old polar dinosaurs once roamed here. Accessible at low tide only. No toilets — use Surf Beach SLSC before heading out.
Bunurong Marine Park
Rocky platforms, tide pools, and the famous Eagles Nest rock formation. Snorkelling in the marine park reveals colourful sea life. Zero toilet facilities along the entire coast.
Anderson Inlet Walk
Gentle estuary walk along the inlet foreshore. Wading birds, calm water, and views across to Venus Bay. The path connects several toilet blocks so you're never far from a dunny.
Eagles Nest
Dramatic rock stack rising from the beach. One of the Bass Coast's most photographed landmarks. Best at sunset. No toilets — plan ahead.
Inlet Beach (Families)
Calm, shallow water on the Anderson Inlet side. Perfect for toddlers and nervous swimmers. The boat ramp toilet is nearby. Feels like your own private lake.
Screw Creek Nature Walk
Easy boardwalk loop through coastal scrub. Spot echidnas, wallabies, and birdlife. Family-friendly distance. Connects to the foreshore path.
Inverloch Skate Park
Concrete skate park on the Esplanade for the kids (or adventurous adults). Right near the visitor info centre and a toilet block. Watch the sunset while the kids shred.
Where to Stay in Inverloch
Bass Coast holiday town that goes from 6,856 residents to 60,000+ in summer. Book early for January or prepare to sleep in the car (there are toilets for that at least).
Surf Beach
Holiday houses and apartments near the patrolled surf beach. Walk to the sand, walk to the SLSC, walk to the dinosaur dig site. The surf side of town is where the action is in summer. Slightly more expensive but worth it for beach access.
Nearest dunnies: Surf Beach SLSC (wheelchair), Skate Park / Visitor Info Centre.
Inverloch CBD
Motels, B&Bs, and apartments in the town centre. Walking distance to both beaches, the shops on A'Beckett Street, and restaurants. The Community Hub with its baby change is right here. Central for families who want everything within reach.
Nearest dunnies: Community Hub (wheelchair, baby change), The Glade foreshore (wheelchair, 24hr).
Ayr Creek / Inlet Side
Quieter western end near Anderson Inlet. Holiday parks, caravan sites, and houses backing onto the estuary. Calmer water for young families, bird-watching from your deck, and that peaceful inlet-side vibe. Less crowded even in peak season.
Nearest dunnies: Boat Ramp / Esplanade (wheelchair, 24hr), The Glade foreshore (wheelchair).
