Inverloch, Victoria

[1] Inverloch is a popular tourist destination, particularly for swimming, kitesurfing and windsurfing at the calm waters of Anderson Inlet.

The Bunurong aboriginal people were custodians of this stretch of coast for thousands of years prior to settlement by Europeans.

[5] Anderson Inlet is a shallow and dynamic estuary where the Tarwin River enters Bass Strait.

At low tide its intertidal mudflats provide important feeding habitat for migratory waders.

[8] Seashell collecting is permitted from The Caves (beach) to the north-east, past the main shopping precinct.

Seashell collecting is prohibited in the Bunurong Marine National Park, namely The Oaks, Twin Reefs, Shack Bay and Eagles Nest (beaches), heading south-west after Flat Rocks and The Caves.

[13] Twin Reefs, Shack Bay and Eagles Nest make up most of the Bunurong Marine National Park (excluding The Oaks in Cape Paterson).

The Caves and Flat Rocks are a part of the Bunurong Marine Park, which starts at Coal Point in Harmers Haven.

It supports many marine animals including seastars, featherstars, crabs, snails, 87 species of fish, Whales and Seals.

[15] Flat Rocks is a beach which has large rockpools for rockpooling/rambling and direct access from Cape Paterson-Inverloch Road.

[18] Eagles Nest is a large rock structure adjacent to the coastline that resembles the top half of a map of Australia.

Anderson Inlet and Inverloch Surf Beach are popular for fishing and a good catch is usually found.
