Cowes, VIC 3922
Overview
Cowes, the main township on Phillip Island, lies on the island’s northern coast with sweeping views across Western Port Bay to French Island and the Mornington Peninsula. A two‑hour drive from Melbourne, it is also linked by bus and a passenger ferry from Stony Point, while Phillip Island Road feeds directly into the tree‑lined Thompson Avenue and the historic Cowes Jetty. The north‑facing Cowes Beach, rated the 10th‑best beach in Australia for 2025, offers safe, family‑friendly swimming, and the town centre provides a range of retailers, including Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, IGA and Dimmeys, alongside cafés, restaurants and essential services such as a police station and post office.
With a 2021 census population of 6,593, Cowes has seen farmland replaced by large housing estates and modern apartments, around 70 % of which are owned by absentee Melburnians. Families benefit from two primary schools, a Catholic school, and active clubs for football, netball and golf, while nearby attractions such as Phillip Island Nature Park, the Wildlife Park and several holiday resorts support a vibrant leisure lifestyle.
