About Port Welshpool Long Jetty
Port Welshpool Long Jetty is a heritage-listed timber jetty extending 800 metres into Corner Inlet at Port Welshpool in South Gippsland, Victoria. Built in 1938, it is one of the longest wooden jetties in Victoria and overlooks Wilsons Promontory and Snake Island. Reconstructed and reopened in 2019-2020, it is notable for its historic maritime role, fishing use and panoramic coastal views.
Visitors guide
Visitors can walk the full 800-metre timber jetty over the shallow waters of Corner Inlet with open views to Wilsons Promontory, Snake Island and the surrounding coastline. The setting is flat, exposed and maritime, with fishing platforms along the jetty, moored boats, and birdlife over the inlet. The experience is primarily a scenic walk, sightseeing and fishing, with interpretive signage about its history and no commercial development on the jetty itself.
