Time and tides have not diminished Victoria’s outstanding lighthouses. Some offer accommodation, all have spectacular views and each one tells a surprising tale from the history book. Whether curious, hungry or adventurous, a journey to these whitewashed wonders is well rewarded.
Victoria's lighthouses
Cape Otway and Apollo Bay

Point Hicks Lighthouse
Situated deep within Croajingolong National Park, the Point Hicks Lighthouse now offers a unique holiday experience for those who want to stay in one of the keepers cottages, which are now comfortable, self-contained holiday accommodation.
Cape Schanck
Cape Schanck offers stunning landscapes; the mystery of dramatic volcanic features, unspoilt and wild beaches and scenic walking tracks with spectacular ocean views. It is also a site of rich European history with its heritage listed lighthouse precinct.
Anglesea and Aireys Inlet
Discover stunning coastal vistas, quaint gorges, waterfalls and tall eucalypt forest. Surf the iconic swells of Bells Beach, walk and birdwatch among the flowering heath at Anglesea and snorkel or dive off Point Addis.
Wilsons Promontory Lightstation
