Parks & Nature
7km loop walk, from Cape Woolamai surf life saving club. Takes you along the beach then up to the head land. AMAZING views, wildlife - all of the above. My favourite walk. Sunrise walk is lovely, as you see the sun come up, as well as the little wallabies feeding. Sunset is also amazing.

You can drive, walk or ride here. There is an admission fee. It is apart of the "three parks pass. Penguin parade, koalas, and Churchill Island"
Old heritage farm. Beautiful gardens, lots of farm animals to interact with. A great walk around the island. Usually holiday programs, great for couples, solo travellers and kids!

Sightseeing
Not located on Phillip Island, but just out of San remo. This is a fantastic walk along the coast from San remo to Kilcunda. 7km each way. Kilcunda has a fantastic little cafe to reward yourself after a decent walk. This is for moderately fit people, a few hills to go up and down. I love this walk. Some people ride their bikes on this track. There is also beach access in some spots.
