LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE | PAGE 5 PHILLIP ISLAND A small island with a huge array of natural attractions Phillip Island is one of Victoria's most popular travel destinations, mainly thanks to its diverse and fascinating array of natural attractions. The island's relatively small size means you can enjoy many of the island's best sights and experiences in just a day or two. Lots to see and do Phillip Island's seemingly endless list of things to see and do includes the world-famous Penguin Parade, a MotoGP racing track, a vehicle museum, a historic homestead farm, an array of magnificent beaches, scenic boardwalks and native wildlife experiences, and even a chocolate factory! Phew... and that's just to name a few. For its size, Phillip Island punches well above its weight when it comes to recreational options, which include bushwalking, boating, fishing, swimming, surfing, diving, paddling, golf, photography and much more. There's also a growing arts and foodie scene, with lots of excellent cafés, galleries, restaurants, wineries and providores popping-up all around the island, offering fabulous locally-sourced produce.
