Just a 90-minute drive south of Melbourne, Phillip Island has it all – nature, wildlife, and of course, great waves. Cape Woolamai is the island’s highest point and is known for offering some of the best surfing in Victoria. In fact, it’s one of Chris Hemsworth’s favourite beaches. You won’t find any lessons here, just the rolling waves, so this beach is best for experienced surfers and spectators (though beginners can take a class on nearby Smiths Beach). Cape Woolamai is a great place to start your Phillip Island adventure, too. After catching a wave, visit some of the local wildlife at the Koala Conservation Centre and the famed Penguin Parade.
