Go in search of native koalas at nearby Kennett River, or take a refreshing swim in the ocean. Fishing is a popular local pastime, with great opportunities for deep-sea fishing, or simply casting a line off the harbour wall for snapper, whiting, and squid. For something more relaxing, wander through the town’s galleries, boutiques, and cafes, or visit the weekend markets for local produce and crafts.
