The Beach

		The sweeping beach between Inverloch and Cape Liptrap takes in Venus Bay. Magnificent surf meets a wide sandy beach backed by well vegetated dunes. The coastal park between the village and the beach is great to explore.
No. 1 beach, closest to Pandora Avenue, is served by a large active Surf Club. The beach is patrolled during summer, with safe swimming indicated between the flags. This is an open surf beach and children should be supervised by an adult at all times. If you’re not swimming or surfing, Venus Bay Beach is a Mecca for surf fishing. Bring your tackle and ask the experts at the fishing shop for the finer points of advice.
	Dogs are allowed on the beach west of No. 1 beach ramp from April to November. (that’s Cooper on the left)

The Inlet

Andersons Inlet is a large, protected body of water stretching from Tarwin Lower to Inverloch. It is safe dor boating of all kinds. Launch your tinny from the ramp at Second Estate or Tarwin Lower. Ask the sailing club at Inverloch about sailing conditions in the tidal inlet.

Tidal movements are large so the boat ramps operate at different times of the day. Check your tide chart for high-tide times.

Safe beaches and walks can be found towards the point.

Doyle’s Rd Beach, a short drive through the Second Estate, offers a tranquil and safe alternative to Venus Bay’s main surf beach. With views across Anderson’s Inlet towards Inverloch, this sheltered beach is great for kids and families. This is a great picnic spot on blustery days.
