Killarney Beach
A small bay east of Port Fairy, sheltered by offshore reefs with calm water, well suited to family swimming and snorkelling.
Killarney Beach lies beside the town of Killarney, about 10 km east of Port Fairy, between Port Fairy and Warrnambool. Offshore reefs act as a natural barrier, keeping the bay shallow and calm. It is the top choice for local families for summer swimming, snorkelling and stand-up paddleboarding, and at low tide you can see rock pool creatures among the reefs. There are camping grounds and picnic facilities by the beach, and it is lively on summer weekends. It is free, but there are no lifeguards on duty, so watch for currents near the reefs.
