Bring plenty of water and snacks, and make sure if you hike this path one way, you have a ride back to your car at the other end, or are prepared to walk the return trip. It’s likely you’ll have these beaches to yourself too.

The full walk is seven kilometres one way, so you’ll need the better part of an afternoon to account for plenty of swimming stops along the way. Along the journey, you’ll find paths shooting off down to beaches, and reef platforms with rock pools. The walk between San Remo and Kilcunda is along the top of the cliffs on a clearly defined trail looking out towards Phillip Island. Swimming at any of the secluded beaches along the George Bass Coastal Walk requires a certain level of commitment, but it could be the most revealing hike you do this summer. Though these spots are idyllic when you get them all to yourself, we’re of the opinion this natural bounty should be respectfully shared.

The same cannot be said for swimming beaches. There is a surfer’s law that you mustn’t reveal secret surf spots to others, to keep isolated, local breaks somewhat crowd-free. If you’re heading out of the city, check the Vic Emergency and Tourism Australia websites for information on bushfire-affected areas, road closures and other travel alerts. Only swim at beaches, rivers or lakes where swimming is permitted and never swim alone – there may be strong currents, debris and other hazards in the water.
