Queenscliff

Queenscliff is an historic seaside village 100 kilometres from Melbourne on the sandy shores of Port Phillip Bay.

Rich history
Reminders of Queenscliff's elegant past are everywhere you look – from imposing Victorian-era hotels, a huge military fortress guarding the entrance to Port Phillip, solid old churches and quaint fishermen's cottages. But there's more to Queenscliff than nineteenth century history. Wander down Hesse Street and discover art galleries, shops and great places to dine.

Village charm
Queenscliff attracts visitors from all points of the compass who come to enjoy the beach, a picnic under the giant foreshore pines, the village charm or even a game of golf.

On the bay
Port Phillip Bay also offers seemingly endless opportunities for water activities. The bay's southern reaches offer some of Australia's best diving on reefs and shipwrecks and fishing from piers, beaches and boats is popular with all ages. Ferries also sail regularly between Sorrento and Queenscliff taking around 40 minutes to transport passengers and their cars from one side of Port Phillip Bay to the other.
