Lakes Entrance Holidays
Lakes Entrance Holidays is a popular holiday destination at the eastern end of the Gippsland Lakes - the largest inland network of waterways in Australia. They cover an area of more than 400 sq klm and are separated from the ocean by a thin sliver of sand dunes which form a large part of Ninety Mile Beach, which stretches down to Port Albert.
A bridge across the Cunningham Arm gives access to the surf beach from the township.
The town is well developed for the holiday maker and caters for both seaside recreation and exploration of the mountain country to the north.
It is the home port for a very large fishing fleet and for many pleasure craft. Large cruise vessels conduct regular trips throughout the year. Boats can also be hired.
Fishing, both ocean and beach, is popular as are swimming and surfing on a variety of good beaches. Come and check out Lakes Entrance Holidays and Caravan parks. A much loved Victorian holiday spot, Lakes Entrance
enjoys a spectacular position on the edge of
Ninety Mile Beach where the Gippsland Lakes meet the Southern
Ocean.
Relax in the easy seaside charm of the town or head
to the waters for a myriad of activities. You can take
it easy and enjoy a boat cruise on the Gippsland Lakes,
the largest inland network of waterways in Australia,
or get more active and hire a paddleboat or catamaran
in the summer months.
Cross the footbridge to the popular Ninety Mile Beach
surf beach, which is patrolled by lifesavers in summer,
or take a hike to the entrance of the Lakes. Head to
Jemmys Point Lookout for sweeping views of the town,
lakes and the entrance.
Spoil yourself with a cruise aboard the Corque winery
boat and savour tastings, lunch or dinner at Wyanga
Park Winery. You can also catch your own fish or visit
fresh seafood shops. Lakes Entrance is renowned for
its seafood due to the large number of fishing trawlers
operating in the area.
Make Lakes Entrance your base as you explore the historic
Nyerimilang Homestead and Park and the beautiful Lake
Tyers Township and the Lake Tyers Forest Park.
Play a round of golf at either one of the golf courses
or, if 18 holes is not your style, try your hand at
one of the mini golf parks.
