Phillip Island’s south coast is defined by the constant waves of Bass Strait. Strong winds, changing tides and underwater formations produce an endless variety of breaks. This famous action has been delighting surfers of all experience levels since the 1920s. Smiths Beach – and the adjacent Beachcomber or YCW Beach – is one of four areas on Phillip Island designated as a National Surfing Reserve. Come wrestle the gnarly swells but be prepared to wipe out along the whitewater. Expert surfers looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush challenge the monsters at nearby Dungeons and Express Point.
