East Gippsland Destination Guide
Welcome to the Gippsland Lakes, Australia’s largest inland network of waterways. Spanning over 400 square kilometres of pristine lakes, marshes, and lagoons, this coastal paradise is separated from the ocean only by the sweeping dunes of Ninety Mile Beach. It is the ultimate aquatic playground for boating, kayaking, and world-class fishing.
The region is famous for its abundant wildlife, including rare Burrunan dolphins and the wild koalas of Raymond Island. Beyond the water, you can wander through the charming lakeside village of Metung, soak at the award-winning Metung Hot Springs, or head to the bustling fishing hub of Lakes Entrance to sample the fresh daily catch directly from the trawlers. Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape or an on-the-water adventure, the Gippsland Lakes offer a truly unforgettable coastal getaway.
