Inverloch is located at the mouth of Anderson Inlet km south-east of Melbourne and 9 m above sea level. Inverloch is a Gaelic word meaning "entrance to a lake". It is possible the town was named in honour of Sir Henry Loch who was Governor of Victoria from Water Activities in Anderson Inlet and at Venus Bay From Inverloch, and broken only by the entrance to Anderson Inlet, all the way down the coast past Venus Bay there is a beautiful, long and huge sandy beach edged by dunes which enclose Anderson Inlet and act as a buffer against the wild seas of Bass Strait.
These conditions make the whole area ideal for families with young children and for beach and boat fishing. Conditions for canoeing and water skiing are excellent in Anderson Inlet and the winds from Bass Strait make sailing and sailboarding ideal. The inlet is also known as an excellent fishing destination with the possibility of catching King George whiting, Australian salmon, mullet and silver trevally. For surfers the long, exposed beach around Point Smythe and Venus Bay is attractive.
Birdwatching The unusual, salt-secreting mangrove tree can be found at the inlet and bird watching can be enjoyed at Maher's Landing and Townsend Bluff. From Point Smythe to Venus Bay is a stretch of beach which constitutes one of Victoria's largest sand spits. In the north-western corner is a nature conservation reserve and a salt-marsh community can be found at the peripheries.
