Things To Do

Cast a line from the shores of a wild beach or from the crystal-clear mountain streams that run throughout the region. Try your luck in the waters of the Gippsland Lakes, charter a fishing boat and head out to sea, or just watch the fishing boats come in at Lakes Entrance and load up on seafood, straight from the deck. From expansive lakes and beaches, estuaries and rivers, there are excellent fishing opportunities for anglers and beginners alike in Gippsland.
