Witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles in Warrnambool, the southern gateway to the Great Ocean Road and Australia’s premier land-based whale-watching destination, where from May to October southern right whales migrate to the sheltered waters of Logans Beach to calve and nurse their young—offering breathtaking views of mothers and calves breaching, tail-slapping, and playing just metres from the clifftop platform with interpretive signs and live-streamed whale cams. Stroll the scenic Breakwater Promenade past the historic Breakwater and Lady Bay Beach with its safe swimming and family-friendly vibe, explore the charming Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village—a living 19th-century port recreation complete with the Lady Bay Lighthouse and the wreck of the Loch Ard—all while soaking in the relaxed coastal atmosphere, fresh seafood restaurants serving local crayfish and abalone, and the warm hospitality of a city that perfectly balances dramatic ocean wildlife, rich maritime history, and the laid-back spirit of Victoria’s Shipwreck Coast.
Savor fresh Warrnambool crayfish grilled with garlic butter, creamy scallop mornay, sweet apple pie from local orchards, and crisp Otway Estate Pinot Noir amid crashing waves, whale spouts, and the unmistakable sense of a place where the Southern Ocean meets authentic coastal Victoria.
Warrnambool isn’t just a destination—it’s Victoria’s most magical fusion of whale-watching wonder, Shipwreck Coast heritage, and timeless seaside charm—plan your Warrnambool adventure today!
