The George Bass Coastal Walk
Clifftops, two beach swims and a wave that caught Max out: the full 15km return from the Punch Bowl Road end with Nala and Mali along.
Updated 11 October 2026
We were up early for the drive from Melbourne's south-east out to the Punch Bowl Road entrance, meeting Nala and Mali there, two golden retriever pals who turn any walk into a pack outing.
The George Bass Coastal Walk is a long one, and full of beautiful sights the whole way with clifftops, sea caves, and two beaches the path dips down into where it was quiet enough to let the dogs off-lead for a swim.
The views kept coming, but it is a LONG walk, roughly 15km to and from the way we did it, and arriving at the Kilcunda end meant turning around and walking back with everyone tired.
The water and snacks got used, by us as much as the puppers.
There were wild rabbits in the grassland sections, and every one of them got a lunge.
