Melbourne

Smiths Beach

Ideal for novice surfers

Smiths Beach Road
Phillip Island, VIC 3922

Nearest Train: Approximately two hours drive from central Melbourne.

This is a fantastic little place for any sort of beach going activity. It is reasonably sheltered, with neat waves that will suit beginners in the sport. Best conditions are a southerly swell, with a northerly wind on mid-tide. The waves here do not have the power generated elsewhere on the island, but there is also little danger of getting caught in a rip and finding trouble. It is a picturesque stretch of sand to just kick back on and enjoy. The turn off to Smiths is well sign posted about one kilometre along the road.
