When to visit

The best time to visit Summerlands is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, it can get crowded during this time. Spring and autumn are also good times to visit as the weather is mild and there are fewer tourists. Winter, from June to August, can be cold and rainy, but it is a great time for wildlife watching, especially penguin viewing.

Getting around

Getting around Summerlands is easy with a car, as there are scenic drives along the coast and to nearby attractions. There are also local buses that connect the town to surrounding areas. Cycling is a popular way to explore the town and its surroundings. Taxis and rideshare services are also available for short trips within the town.

Traveller tips

Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat as the sun in Australia can be strong. It's a good idea to book penguin watching tours in advance as they can sell out quickly. Try the local seafood at one of the waterfront restaurants for a delicious meal. Don't forget to visit the nearby Phillip Island Nature Parks for more wildlife experiences. Be respectful of the environment and wildlife during your visit.
