Nestled among Australia’s largest inland network of waterways, Lakes Entrance brims with scenic beauty and outdoor recreation. This picturesque destination in eastern Australia marks the spot where Gippsland Lakes meets the Southern Ocean, and the town bursts with fantastic activities and attractions. Go kayaking or sailing and explore the vast system of lakes, lagoons, and marshes that make up Gippsland Lakes, or charter a boat and head into deeper waters for fishing excursion. On land, check out the fascinating exhibits of Griffiths’ Sea Shell Museum & Marine Display, then check out the Indigenous Plant Garden and enjoy scenic walks around Nyerimilang Homestead. When you need a break from sightseeing, lounge on the soft sandy dunes of Ninety Mile Beach and soak up the sunshine.
