Stretching from Phillip Island to Inverloch, the Bass Coast offers surf beaches, penguin parades and ancient dune systems. Tourism, dairy farming and coastal conservation shape the area. Locals surf at a lesser‑known reef break outside Cape Paterson and purchase handmade cheeses from a farm tucked down a winding rural road.
