Phillip Island boasts some of Victoria’s most spectacular beaches. However, as well as being beautiful they can be dangerous, especially along the island’s south coast.
To help you stay safe, we encourage everyone to download the Surf Life Saving Beach Safe app and access important information available on the Life Saving Victoria website and throughout the Visitor Information Centres.

- Swim between the red and yellow flags wherever possible
- Supervise children at all times in and around water.
- Always swim with a friend.
