Fish Creek

Fish Creek is a rural township attracting visitors en route to Wilsons Promontory and nearby coastal townships of Sandy Point and Waratah Bay. From the novelty of the giant mullet on top of the Promontory Gate Hotel or 'Fishy Pub' as it is affectionately known, to the fish-shaped seats placed around the town there is more to this uniquely themed town than meets the eye. Dine at the Promontory Gate Hotel, The Flying Cow Café or the Orange Roughy, all featuring local produce, browse through the bookshop or explore the works of local artists at the many nearby galleries.
