This little coastal township right on Corner Inlet's sandy beaches is the place for those who love mucking around with boats.  With a network of jetties, landings and slips, there is always some type of marine action taking place.  On a summer's afternoon it's not unusual to see 100 boats launched or retrieved at Port Welshpool's all-weather, all-tide boat ramps.

" The Long Jetty"
Port Welshpool has memorable picnic spots along the foreshore and also offers the visitor a very safe swimming beach. Be sure to take your fishing gear and try your luck.  The favorite spots are either from the Long Jetty or the sea wall near the boat ramp.
 
Port Welshpool has served as the base for a very successful fishing industry for many years and very recent activity suggests that many of the professionals from Lakes Entrance will be moving here. The new owners of the Seapak fish processing factory have also promised new jobs in the near future. 
   
Port Welshpool has a pub, takeaway, a very active boat club and a must-see maritime museum.
