Located just a 90-minute drive from Melbourne and 40 minutes from Cranbourne, the charming seaside town in Gippsland is home to numerous historical and tourist sights. It’s also a popular destination for boating, as you can launch the boat into the calm water while you enjoy a day of fishing or simply relaxing.

Corinella is one of the first settlements in Victoria. It’s considered a significant historic township and home to the first Government House of Victoria. George Bass first explored the area in 1797, but it wasn’t until 1826 that the town was founded. Originally, it was called “Red Point,” but it was later changed to “Settlement Point.” Sometime later, it eventually took on its current name.

The coastal views of Corinella will take your breath away. It’s also blessed with warmer waters, making it ideal for beachside getaways at any time of the year. The area offers a good mix of activities; the peninsula is surrounded by vast farms, including thoroughbred racing horse farms, red deer, dairy, beef, herbs, flowers, wineries, and so much more.

However, those in the know appreciate that Corinella has a much more laid-back atmosphere due to the absence of mass tourism. If you’ve been looking for a tranquil respite or a short holiday, you’ll love the spacious roads, well-kept streets, and absence of crowded tourist spots here.

A quiet, sandy swimming beach located at O’Connor Road is a favourite for a day out in the sun. Families and friends can unwind here after a coastal stroll, where you can see stunning blue wrens hanging around. If you’d like to exercise more, check out the walking track at the end of Beach Street. This area has several walking tracks, so pack your most comfortable shoes for the best experience.

A caravan park can be found on the hilltop, blessed with views of the jetties and French Island. This spot is excellent for a day of fishing, and you can also head toward Tenby Point to see the swan colony and perhaps even some wallabies. Corinella is a terrific destination for an overnight stay or two if you have a caravan.
