💡 Tips

Visit Anderson Inlet at low tide to explore the exposed sand flats, but keep a close eye on the incoming tide.
Drive along the Bunurong Coastal Drive for spectacular ocean views, often called a miniature Great Ocean Road.
Parking near the main surf beach can fill up quickly in summer; arrive early to secure a spot.
The weather on the Bass Coast can change rapidly, so always carry a windbreaker even on sunny days.
