If you only do ONE thing in Phillip Island, make sure it is THIS! Forget the penguins - head for the caves! (Not really, as if you would go to Phillip Island and NOT visit the penguins!)
That being said, this was the highlight of our most recent trip for Little Mister, and one of Mamma’s faves, too.
There’s a little spot along the amazingly impressive Bass Strait, that is home to these caves. The caves were formed by many years of cliff erosion and are INCREDIBLE.
At low tide, you can walk right into the middle of these caves and explore; the views are sensational. Make sure to visit at very low tide; as the tide can rise very suddenly.
There really is something so magical here. It’s a mixture of the white sand, the red caves and those huge cliffs - accompanied by the sound of the crashing waves - pure HEAVEN. Oh, and keep an eye out for wallabies too!
Make time for this one, folks!

*Note - this is an unmanned beach and swimming is not recommended. It can be extremely dangerous.
