Is Inverloch Surf Beach open?

The beach is open, but erosion and coastal protection works have closed several access tracks at different times, including the main track at the surf club during works. Use the signed open tracks — at times only Ozone Street and tracks to the west have been open — and stay out of fenced works areas.

Can you catch salmon at Inverloch?

Yes. Australian salmon school along the surf beach gutters in the cooler months, with winter the main season. Fish a rising tide into dusk with a paternoster rig and bluebait or pilchard, or cast metal slugs when they show on the surface.

Can you fish at Flat Rocks and Eagles Nest near Inverloch?

Flat Rocks is just outside the park, but Eagles Nest is not: the Bunurong Marine National Park starts about 700 m west of Flat Rocks and takes in the water off Eagles Nest and the coast west toward Cape Paterson. All fishing is banned inside it, so don't cast from Eagles Nest. Check the Parks Victoria boundary signs or the VFA's app before you cast anywhere west of Flat Rocks.

Do you need a lifejacket to fish Inverloch Surf Beach?

Wear one if the surf is up. It is an exposed Bass Strait beach with rips and strong currents, and an eroded dune face behind it limits your escape route at high tide. A lifejacket that meets AS 4758 (Level 50S or greater), cleated or grippy footwear and staying out of the water are the basics.
