Here’s our round up of the top 16 things to do on Phillip Island. You all know by now that team Melbourne Girl loves a good road trip and last week, I had the pleasure of escaping to Victoria’s gorgeous Phillip Island.
The drive took us a little over an hour and a half to San Remo, the mainland village and gateway to Phillip Island. As soon as you arrive, the views of the ocean all around you will kick your ‘island holiday mode‘ into instant full swing!
Get set for awesome beach vibes. It’s the perfect location for a weekend camping trip or family mid-week escape, with a great assortment of cafes and restaurants and lots of fun things to do and see (or relax and do nothing… which is heavenly).
