Waratah Bay

Waratah Bay is a peaceful coastal village set beside one of South Gippsland's most spectacular stretches of coastline. With a vast 15-kilometre sweep of golden sand, clear coastal waters and magnificent views across the bay towards the mountains of Wilsons Promontory, it is a place where the natural landscape takes centre stage. Small, quiet and largely surrounded by coastal bushland and holiday homes, Waratah Bay offers an unspoilt seaside atmosphere that is perfect for escaping the crowds and enjoying the simple pleasures of the coast.

The beach is the heart of Waratah Bay, offering plenty of space for long walks, swimming, fishing, surfing, rock pooling and simply relaxing beside the ocean. The wide, flat shoreline is particularly beautiful at low tide, when the enormous scale of the beach and uninterrupted views towards Wilsons Promontory become even more impressive. The surrounding area is equally rewarding, with Cape Liptrap Coastal Park, Walkerville, Sandy Point and Shallow Inlet all close by, while Wilsons Promontory National Park is an easy drive away. For those wanting a quieter alternative to the more developed coastal destinations, Waratah Bay offers something special - a genuine sense of space, spectacular scenery and a relaxed beachside lifestyle surrounded by some of Victoria's most beautiful natural landscapes.
