Cat Bay

Give this break a try

Ventnor Road
Phillip Island, VIC 3922

Nearest Train: Approximately two hours drive from central Melbourne.

If you are only learning to surf, Cat Bay is the best place in Victoria to go. Left and right handers give a range of conditions to counter. It can become quite crowded during holiday periods. Another thing to look out for is sharks, since several have been sighted in the region over the past few years. Best conditions can be enjoyed with a westerly swell on a southwest wind as the tide comes in.
