About Lakes Entrance
Lakes Entrance's history is intrinsically tied to the water. Originally a haven for Indigenous Gunaikurnai people, European settlement grew around fishing and shipping in the mid-1800s. The town's defining feature, the man-made entrance connecting the Gippsland Lakes to the ocean, was completed in 1889, stabilizing the water levels and cementing its role as a major fishing port. Today, it's famous for its fresh seafood, particularly prawns and fish, which you can buy directly from the trawlers at the Fishermen's Co-operative. The town isn't divided into formal districts but revolves around the Esplanade facing the lakes, the main shopping strip, and the oceanfront areas like Eastern Beach Reserve. Culture here is casual and outdoorsy, focused on boating, fishing, beachcombing along the famous Ninety Mile Beach, and enjoying the natural beauty from lookouts like Jemmy's Point. It's a family-friendly destination where the rhythm of the day is set by the tides and the catch of the day.
Best Time to Visit Lakes Entrance
The best time to visit Lakes Entrance is during the warmer months, from late spring through autumn (November to April). Summer (December-February) is peak season, offering ideal beach weather, bustling markets, and festivals like the Lakes Entrance Rotary Carnival in January. This period sees the most visitors, so booking accommodation in advance is essential. Autumn (March-May) is a lovely alternative, with milder temperatures, fewer crowds, and excellent fishing conditions. Winter (June-August) is the off-peak season; while cooler and quieter, it offers dramatic coastal scenery, lower accommodation rates, and the chance to spot whales migrating along the coast. Spring (September-November) brings blooming wildflowers and increasing temperatures, perfect for hiking and outdoor activities before the summer rush. Major events are concentrated in summer, but the town's natural attractions are rewarding year-round.
