Raw nature not for the feint hearted
Get back to nature in this thriving city by the sea. Wander streets dotted with beautifully maintained heritage buildings and dine on great pub fare while overlooking the busy harbour.
Portland is literally an angler’s paradise whether it’s King George Whiting, Flathead, Snapper, Tuna or Mulloway to name a few.
If you see the yellow flag flying outside the Portland Visitor Information Centre – it means a whale has been spotted! These majestic creatures put on an amazing show for visitors offering a truly spectacular experience.
During your stay, take the time to explore the nearby towns. Each offers something different from sweeping scenic views of rolling hills and productive agricultural land, to perfect pine plantations through the hinterland, and coastal beaches and rugged cliffs.
Whether you’re a history buff, foodie, nature lover or adventurer get ready for a great weekend.
The Great South West Walk begins and ends at the Portland Visitor Information Centre. You can tackle a small section or try the entire 250 kilometre walk and see stunning forests, river gorges, capes and beaches along the way.
Whether you’re dropping a line from the Lee Breakwater, surf fishing from the shores of Discovery Bay or reeling in game fish on a deep-sea fishing charter, Portland will see you bagging a bounty of quality fish.
