A launching ramp has been provided to facilitate the latter. Conditions for canoeing and waterskiing are excellent and the winds from Bass Strait make sailing and sailboarding ideal. Those keen on surfing have only to make their way around Point Smythe on the isthmus, to the more turbulent waters of Venus Bay. Birdwatching The unusual, salt-secreting mangrove tree can be found at the inlet and birdwatching can be enjoyed at Maher's Landing and Townsend Bluff. From Point Smythe to Venus Bay is a stretch of beach which constitutes one of Victoria's largest sand spits.
Migratory birds are present and the occasional spotted native cat has been seen in the area.
There is a picnic site at Fisherman's Jetty. It also provides a range of brochures on the region's natural history. It provides useful information about the mangroves in the area. Driving in the Area To see the lovely countryside and coastal scenery around Inverloch, drive south-west along the Bunurong Cliffs to Cape Paterson. Both drives are well worthwhile.
