Destination overview

Explore the great outdoors on foot or by boat in one of Australia’s most loved seaside destinations.

Beaches, lakes, bushwalks, watersports and fishing spots abound in the popular waterfront town of Lakes Entrance. You’ll certainly not go hungry in the ‘Seafood Capital’, with one of the country’s biggest fishing fleets, the Fisherman’s Co-Op, peddling a mouthwatering range of freshly caught fish to the public every day.

The seaside setting is as picturesque as they come. Waterways, state forests and parks, spectacular ocean beaches and the shoreline of the Cunninghame Arm inlet with its bustling marinas and shops all combining to create a vacation destination that has it all.

There’s no better way to enjoy the relaxed nature of Lakes Entrance than with a cruise out to the postcard-perfect village of Metung or to sample the handcrafted wines at Gippsland’s oldest family-run winery, Wyanga Park.

If land-based adventures are more your thing, there’s no shortage of walks designed to soak up all of the spectacular scenery. The Eastern Beach Walking Track is a firm favorite, taking you right to the entrance itself or try your hand at bushwalking in the picturesque Lake Tyers State Park or The Colquhoun State Forest.

With a full spectrum of experiences on offer at Lakes Entrance, don’t be surprised if you join the ranks of solo holidaymakers and families alike who have become return visitors to this popular vacation destination.
