Its working jetty, where fishermen unload fresh catches daily, gives the town an authentic seaside character. Stroll along the Esplanade to spot pelicans being fed at 12:30pm, a beloved local ritual. The nearby San Remo Beach offers gentle waves perfect for a family swim, while the San Remo Hotel provides hearty pub meals with ocean views. A short drive brings you to the iconic Penguin Parade, the island's most famous attraction, but the real charm lies in San Remo's unpretentious rhythm—kayaking through mangroves, collecting shells on the foreshore, and watching the sunset paint the sky above the bridge. The town's small size means you're never far from a coastal walk or a fish-and-chip shop. With friendly locals and a relaxed vibe, San Remo is the ideal base for exploring the natural wonders of the Bass Coast region without the crowds of larger tourist hubs.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","999",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","112",[17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47,50],{"key":18,"value":19},"Do I need a visa?","Most visitors need a visa or ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) before arrival.
