Phillip Island is across the bridge at San Remo. The Penguin Parade at dusk is the best known reason to go, so it’s worth booking ahead in the busy months.

There’s plenty more to see: surf beaches and quiet coves along the south coast, boardwalks over the headlands, and the cafes and shops in Cowes.
