Port Albert is a picturesque coastal town in Victoria, Australia.​

Steeped in a rich maritime history, it was Gippsland’s first established port and was the cornerstone of the land transport connections in the early 1800’s.

Located within the Corner Inlet region, it is renowned as a recreational and commercial fishing spot.

Port Albert’s picturesque and peaceful location attracts visitors from around Australia and overseas.

Photographers, artists, anglers, historians, walkers, foodies, and anyone with an interest in maritime history will relish what Port Albert has to offer.

Its close proximity to Tarra Bulga National Park, Wilsons Promontory & the famous 90 Mile Beach makes it a ‘must stop’ destination for those traveling the East Coast.​

Travelers can find an array of accommodation in the area, made up of Airbnb, Motels, and overnight RV facilities which make Port Albert a convenient overnight stop-over point for holiday makers.​
