Walkerville

Tucked away on the shores of Waratah Bay, Walkerville is a secluded coastal village surrounded by the rugged beauty of Cape Liptrap Coastal Park. Divided into Walkerville North and Walkerville South, the area combines pristine beaches, rocky coves, native coastal bushland and spectacular views across the bay towards Wilsons Promontory. With its winding roads through forest opening onto the coastline, Walkerville has a wonderfully peaceful and untouched character that makes it one of South Gippsland's hidden coastal gems.

Walkerville offers a wonderful mix of natural beauty and fascinating history. Walkerville South is home to a beautiful sheltered beach surrounded by rock pools and large coastal rocks, with the remains of the historic lime kilns visible along the foreshore. The kilns are a reminder of the area's former limestone industry, which operated from the 1870s until 1926 and supplied lime to Melbourne's building industry. Walkerville North provides sweeping views across Waratah Bay towards Wilsons Promontory and is popular for swimming, fishing, surfing and exploring the rock pools revealed at low tide. The Limeburners Walk connects the two sides of the settlement through coastal bushland and provides a fascinating glimpse into Walkerville's history. Nearby, the historic Cape Liptrap Lighthouse sits high above the rugged coastline and offers spectacular views across Bass Strait and the surrounding coastal park. With very few commercial services and an emphasis on nature, beaches, fishing, walking and camping, Walkerville is an ideal destination for visitors looking for a quiet coastal escape away from the crowds.
