Things to do in Loch Sport
Discover your own piece of paradise in The Lakes National Park. Fringed by Lake Victoria and Lake Reeve, the park is a living treasure of native flora and fauna offering some of Victoria's most scenic lookouts, walking tracks and lagoons. For a panoramic view, follow the Lake Reeve Nature Trail, a 30-minute walk through seemingly untouched dunes, eucalyptus trees and wildflowers to the Reeve Lookout Tower.
Launch a boat into the pristine waters of Lake Victoria for a day of water skiing and open-water fishing or take a sailing adventure to Rotamah Island. A nature lover’s delight, Rotamah Island features a birdwatching observatory and plenty of opportunities to spot native wildlife, such as emus, kangaroos, wallabies, possums, koalas and echidnas.
Ever wanted to witness a pod of whales or dolphins in their natural habitat? Visit between May and October to spot humpback whales and southern right whales splashing about off the South Gippsland coast.
No visit to Loch Sport is complete without seeing Ninety Mile Beach, the world’s third-longest uninterrupted coastline. Feel the salty spray on your face and enjoy the quiet landscapes of golden sand. If the weather is good, enjoy a swim between the red and yellow flags or surf the exhilarating breaks.
