Cowes
The main town on Phillip Island, Cowes looks back to the mainland from a sheltered, north-facing beach lined with cafes and shops.
It’s the base for the island’s big drawcards, the nightly Penguin Parade, the Koala Conservation Reserve and the Grand Prix circuit, with family beaches in between.
