Venus Bay guidebook.
Sightseeing
Point Smythe is an awesome place for a walk.
Many backpackers have gone missing here. The area is rife with drop bears. Never go after dark. Have a treasure hunt. Find abandoned back packs, hiking boots, cameras, tents, swedish flags. It's fun for all the family. "mum, i found a boot... and its still got a foot in it!"
nah. i'm just messing with you. there's no drop bears. it's safe as. its an awesome walk out to the point. once you get there, there's water on three sides and a huge peninsula of sand. beautiful.

Wilsons Prom is an awesome day trip. Its 45 minutes away. Pack a picnic and chill out on one of the beautiful beaches. Or climb Mt Oberon. Anyone can climb it. Topping out at about 3 feet above sea level, its not really a "Mt". It's more an enlarged hill. Wilsons Prom is one of the most beautiful places in Australia. I'm not biased. Ask anyone that has been there.

Water Activities
Andersons Inlet is a great place for kayaking, fishing or paddling for the little ones... and pottering about on the sand at low tide. There is lots of sand at low tide.

If you're a cyclist and you're feeling energetic, Walkerville is a great ride. Its a few hours there and back. Or if the surf is really big at VB and you want something a bit less hectic, Walkerville is more protected. its a short drive.

Food scene
The Cavity is great for a feed. Their steaks are locally sourced and are top shelf. Tip: if youre there with a group, under order your steak. If you want rare, ask for blue. if you want medium rare, ask for rare. etc. meals sit under the warming light before being brought out which keeps them cooking whilst resting.
