Choices of Accommodation - Phillip Island and San Remo August 2026

A place of natural beauty, sandy beaches, world class events and unique wildlife encounters, and located only 90 minutes from Melbourne, Phillip Island and San Remo are the perfect destinations for a getaway or day trip.

On the Island you’ll find the famous little penguins and world class surf beaches, while San Remo is home to Australia’s largest shark fishing fleet and some of the tastiest fish and chips you’ll ever experience!

Only a short walk or drive across the bridge from one another, these two holiday destinations are the perfect places to spend long summer days swimming, surfing and snorkelling, exploring the spectacular coastline and appreciating the stunning surrounds the region has to offer.
