Woolamai Surf Beach

Woolamai Beach

One of Victoria's best-known surf beaches, a long sandy beach facing Bass Strait with large, consistent waves.

Woolamai Beach lies on the west side of Cape Woolamai. Its wide open sands face the Southern Ocean swells. It is one of Victoria's surfing hot spots and often hosts surfing competitions. The town has surf schools offering beginner lessons and equipment rental. Rip currents are strong here, so swimming is only allowed in the summer area flagged by lifeguards. The beach is also the starting point for the Cape Woolamai walk, and the car park has toilets. Admission is free.
