Point Lonsdale

Point Lonsdale is a laid back coastal town, famous for its lighthouse that was built in 1902 to help guide ships through the Heads of the Bay.

The turbulent passage of water, which heads into the bay is known as the 'Rip' is rated as one of the world's most dangerous seaways of the world. The Rip view look-out is one of the vantage points from where you can view freighters and other boating vessels negotiate their way through the Rip.

The Foreshore around the headland is a marine wonderland at low tide, with an array of rock pools and caverns that become natural aquariums - so make sure you bring goggles or snorkels with you to discover these unique underwater worlds.


Distance

  • 108 kms from Melbourne via Princess Highway.


Highlights

  • Rip View Swim Classic in January
  • Point Lonsdale Markets held 2nd Sunday monthly all year round selling crafts and fresh produce.


Activities

  • Watch ships negotiate the treacherous waters of the Rip entrance to Port Phillip Bay at The Rip view look-out.
  • Tee up and hit a round at the Lonsdale Golf Club, a true sand belt course and the premier golf course on the Peninsula.
