Home to the Ninety Mile Beach and combining a number of Coastal National Parks, East Gippsland hosts an impressive line up for surfers. The most notable breaks include Red Bluff at Lake Tyers Beach which offers up both left and right hand breaks. This epic rocky headland is often deserted and you can have it all to yourself. Explore the coastline further east to find Cape Conran Coastal Park. Here you can catch a wave at Pearl Point which is often producing some crazy big waves only fit for the most experienced. Salmon Rocks however pumps out a beautiful left handed roller and can accommodate beginners closer into the shoreline. Mallacoota in the far east also deserves an honourable mention for our surfing friends. Bastion Point is a nice protected beach, and patrolled in the summer making it a perfect spot for little groms to work on their gnarly skills.
