Nooramunga and Corner Inlet Marine and Coastal Parks

Protected from the pounding surf of Bass Strait by barrier islands, the quiet waters of Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park create an intricate network of waterways and islands of outstanding environmental significance and scenic beauty, framed by the majesty of Wilsons Promontory. The park consists of shallow marine waters, isolated granite islands, intertidal mudflats and a complex of over 40 sand barrier islands.

Things to do



* Try fishing for Snapper, King George Whiting, flathead, garfish and Australian Salmon from the surf beaches of the barrier islands or by boat within the sheltered waters of the inlet.


* Enjoy bush camping on the sand barrier islands within Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park.


* Discover the fascinating early history of Port Albert by walking the Old Port Trail.


* Watch migratory wading birds feeding on the exposed mudflats at low tide.
