December marks the most popular time to visit Lakes Entrance, as the peak season runs from December to February. During these summer months, the region comes alive with vibrant beach activities and an array of outdoor adventures. The warm temperatures, often reaching around 25 degrees Celsius, create the superb environment for swimming, fishing, and exploring the stunning coastline.
As you soak up the sun, you'll also find numerous festivals and events that cater to both families and adventure seekers. December, in particular, offers a lively atmosphere with plenty of visitors enjoying the pristine beaches and the beautiful Gippsland Lakes, making it an ideal time for those looking to immerse themselves in an energetic seaside experience.
For travellers looking for more budget-friendly options, consider visiting in May.

You can enjoy scenic walks, local cafés, and the stunning natural beauty of the area without the summer crowds.
