Welcome to Portland from the Portland Tourist Association and all its members.
Portland is surrounded by three large bays and has kilometres of beaches, suitable for fishing, swimming and surfing.
We are a small community of approximately 10,000 people and have a diverse range of tourist activities within and around our city. Our region is quite unique as it has volcanic origins, is the only area where early aboriginal people built permanent stone shelters, and has eco tourist attractions that include the only mainland colony of Australasian Gannets at Point Danger and the only mainland colony of Australasian Fur Seals at Cape Bridgewater. We also have the Great South West Walk, 250 kms of walking tracks that take you along clifftops, beaches, the Glenelg River and through magnificent hardwood forests. Portland has historic origins as it is the birthplace of Victoria and home to more than 200 historic buildings.
