Toora Beach sits on the sheltered shores of Corner Inlet, a Ramsar-listed wetland of international significance that forms the western edge of Wilson Promontory National Park. This shallow, calm inlet offers gentle snorkelling conditions protected from the open ocean swell. Snorkellers can explore seagrass meadows and sandy-bottom habitats that host a surprising diversity of life. The backdrop of rolling green hills and views across to the Prom make this a wonderfully scenic — if lesser-known — spot in South Gippsland for a relaxed paddle and snorkel.
