Safety

Point Nepean National Park is predominantly a natural setting with remote areas of thick bushland and sections of rugged rocky ocean coastline facing Bass Strait. Please remain on formed walking tracks and shared user roads when exploring.  The national park is also home to native wildlife such as wallabies, echidnas, bandicoots, birds, lizards and snakes. Whales and dolphins are sometimes seen close to shore, while seals and penguins may occasionally come out and rest on the beach.  Do not approach or feed wildlife and report any distressed, injured or aggressive animals to rangers.

Swimming is not permitted along the ocean coastline or recommended from the bay beaches of Point Nepean due to large and unexpected waves, rip currents, strong winds, swift tides, drop offs and submerged obstacles.  The nearest safe swimming bay side beaches are at Sorrento or Portsea townships. Ocean facing beaches within nearby Mornington Peninsula National Park are patrolled by Surf Life Savers during the summer holidays at Sorrento Back Beach and Portsea Ocean Beach – look for the recommended swimming zones between the beach flags.  Always observe aquatic hazard risk signs and take note of the displayed emergency marker codes in the event of an emergency and seeking assistance.

For emergency assistance call Triple Zero (000). If there is a green emergency marker sign near you, read the code information on the marker to the operator. Point Nepean National Park is in the Central Fire District. Bushfire safety is a personal responsibility.
