Summerlands, Victoria

Summerlands is a locality and group of former residential subdivisions on Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia, located in the south-west corner of the island, close to a little penguin breeding colony. In 1985, the Victorian government decided that, to protect the penguin rookery, further development of the subdivision would be prohibited and all the properties would be progressively purchased by the state. Summerlands beach is one of four beaches that forms part of the National Surfing Reserve on the island, along with Smiths Beach, Cape Woolamai and Cat Bay.
