WILSON'S PROMONTORY
Jewell of South Gippsland
Wilsons Promontory was Victoria's first National Park. From fairly humble beginnings in the early 1900s it has grown to become one of Victoria's most popular tourist destinations.
The main information centre, a store, accommodation and a large camping area are situated at Tidal River. The Tidal River General Store has groceries, supplies, hot food, drinks, camping gear and good maps for exploring the National Park.
For more information on bushwalking, overnight hiking, camping, boating and fishing around Wilson's Promontory, contact Parks Victoria on 131963..
Todal River Camping area is situated beside Norman Bay and it's beautiful beach.
Because of the size of the National Park, it is still easy to find a perfect 'away from the crowds' spot like Cotter's Beach, only a 1km walk from a car park. Walk along the beach for a short distance and you will begin to wonder where all the people are.
This view from Cotter's Beach is of Black Rock with Shellback Island in the distance.

Refuge Cove is a picturesque spot on the Sealer's Cove, Waterloo Bay circuit. Allow at least two or three days of overnight hiking to visit some of The Prom's best beaches.
The white object in the water is a yacht taking advantage of the safe harbour for an rest stop.
Oberon Bay is in stark contrast to the quiet waters of refuge Cove (above). Here the rolling surf continually pounds the white sandy beach.
