Dramatic cliffs, coastal walking trails and remote ocean beaches characterise this area of Yallock-Bulluk Marine and Coastal Park. Coastal walks and lookouts offer spectacular views and wildlife-spotting opportunities, especially during the whale watching season.

The coastal town of San Remo is the western gateway to the Yallock-Bulluk Marine and Coastal Park. Follow in the footsteps of sailor, George Bass, as you walk along the cliffs between San Remo and Kilcunda along the George Bass Coastal Walk. The 7km walk has sweeping views over Bass Strait, where you may be lucky enough to spot whales on their winter or spring migration. Geological formations along the way, such as The Arch lookout, allow you a glimpse into the rich geographical history of the area.

Walk along the protected beaches of Half Moon Bay and Sandy Waterhole or Foots Beach near San Remo, or parts of Kilcunda Beach, for a dog friendly option. Beaches and shoreline along this stretch of coast are not patrolled for swimming. Patrolled beaches can be found at Cape Woolamai, Cape Paterson and Inverloch. As beaches and coasts are natural environments, you may encounter hazards. Follow our water safety advice  to make sure your day out is a safe and enjoyable one.

The Powlett River Mouth is listed as a wetland of national significance and is a great place for families to relax in the calm river waters and adjoining ocean beaches. The river mouth and surrounding coastal saltmarsh offer a unique experience for birdwatching, recreational fishing, kayaking and swimming. Be sure to look out for rare and threatened birds, including the Hooded Plover and Eastern Great Egret or iconic native fish such as Estuary Perch or Black Bream. This area has Aboriginal Cultural Heritage significance and as such is important to the local Bunurong community.
