Loch Sport’s claim to fame is obvious, wedged between stunning coast and glistening lakes.

Located roughly half way along the Ninety Mile Beach, this sleepy coastal town is set on the thin wedge of land separating Lake Victoria and the Bass Strait. A popular place for camping, swimming, fishing and general beachiness, Loch Sport attracts a large tourist population over the summer, with plenty of accommodation options.

Lakeside, vessels at the marina bob on the shimmering waters of Lake Victoria, silhouetted by the orange glow of the setting sun. Beachside, stretches of pristine, golden beaches extend as far as the eye can see.

Fishing & boating

Beach fishing is fantastic here, with impressive sized gummy sharks and salmon caught straight from the sand. There are many brilliant places to drop a line lakeside, including from the jetty.

Hire a kayak or canoe and paddle the waters of Lake Victoria. Or get your tinny into the lake and glide to Hollands Landing, a top-notch spot for fishing across the lake. You can head further afield and reach some neighbouring towns - 20 minutes will get you to Paynesville or Lakes Entrance.
