Travelling to Dromana, Rosebud and Rye, just an hour from Melbourne, is an annual summer tradition for many Melbourne families thanks to the carnival atmosphere and safe bay swimming. There is a wide range of accommodation to suit every holidaymaker, from beach camping spots to self-contained cottages, luxury abodes and B&Bs.
Sandbars extending up to 200 metres from the shore and the clear, calm water of the beautiful bayside beaches create ideal conditions for safe swimming.

Surfers head directly to Gunnamatta Ocean Beach for some of Victoria's best waves.
