Visit The George Bass Coastal Walk

The George Bass Coastal Walk links into the Bass Coast Rail Trail so, if you’ve got the energy reserves, it is possible to walk all the way from the Punch Bowl in San Remo to the centre of Wonthaggi.

This clifftop trail from Kilcunda (Gippsland) to San Remo’s outskirts follows George Bass’s voyage of discovery along the southern edge of the Anderson Peninsula, over 200 years ago.

Parts of the George Bass Coastal Walk take you down to the beach, so check tide conditions before setting out.

The walk is about eight kilometres long (two-three hours) ONE WAY, or 16km if you do the whole walk there and back. The walk offers spectacular views of the coastline.

You may prefer to do one half of the walk, ie: Starting from Kilcunda and going to Sandy Waterhole – see point 16 on the map. This half of the walk would be 4.5km each way (9km total).

Or start from the San Remo (Punchbowl Road – point 19 on map ) end and walk to Sandy Waterhole (point 16) and back. Find the track at the southern end of Punchbowl Road, which comes off the busy Phillip Island Road.

If you don’t have a car, you can get to this walk by taking a bus to Kilcunda and starting the walk from that end.

A bonus of this approach is that Kilcunda is a lovely little surf town and also a drawcard for foodies – as the pub and general store both pride themselves on their gourmet offerings.
