LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE | PAGE 11 SAN REMO Feeding time for the local pelicans has become a daily spectacle for visitors to San Remo. A seaside village that’s full of surprises Before you head over the bridge to Phillip Island, be sure to stop in at San Remo – a surprising seaside village that has plenty to see and do, from pubs and pelicans, to picnics and piers. If you are keen on some serious fishing, book your trip on a charter boat from San Remo out to the pristine deep waters of Bass Strait. Or simply head out on the historic San Remo Jetty to ‘drop in a line’. Pelican feeding, on the foreshore at noon each day, is a treat for all the family, providing plenty of opportunities to get some photos of these big, eye-catching birds. The main street of San Remo has a variety of shops and galleries, as well as cafes and takeaway stores, many offering delicious freshly caught local seafood. The colourful array of boats tied-up by the water’s edge includes the largest fleet of shark fishing boats in Australia. This village also provides access to some wonderful walking and cycling trails. The popular George Bass Coastal Walk is a scenic seven-kilometre cliff-top trail that stretches from the outskirts of San Remo to Kilcunda. It takes an average of two hours to walk one way and offers spectacular views of the coastline. The walk follows the route of explorer, George Bass, on his voyage of discovery along the southern edge of the Anderson Peninsula, more than 200 years ago. As some climbing of stiles over farm fences is required, a reasonable level of fitness is recommended for the walk. With the George Bass Coastal Walk linking into the Bass Coast Rail Trail, it is possible to walk from the Punch Bowl in San Remo all the way to the centre of Wonthaggi. Another trail to consider is the San Remo to Cowes Cycling Track, which is popular with cyclists and families as it is mostly flat.
