Leaving the jetty at San Remo, hop aboard a boat cruise with Captain Brett. While taking in the spectacular rock formations and sceneries of Cape Woolamai National Park, learn about some of the island’s history and indigenous flora and fauna. Whale season begins around the end of May and runs into June so if you’re in town then, you can select from a few whale and dolphin cruise options. Or during other times of year, the seal cruise or private charters make for fun day adventures too.

From classic to experimental, these ales and lagers are all made at the island’s very own micro-brewery.

A lowkey but sleek wine bar with a vast selection of gins and a globetrotting wine selection. Have a cocktail in the casual front space or settle in at the back of the room for a meal from the Spanish-influenced menu.

Phillip Island’s best cup of coffee can be found at this clue-y little joint just up from the beach. Seven Seeds and a rotating list single origins from Melbourne’s best roasters are brewing behind the concrete counter. Settle in with a moreish tuna melt or a spicy schnitzel sanga for the win.
