FLINDERS is at the head of the entrance to Western Port Bay. This is an advantage in that no matter which way the wind is blowing you can find a sheltered beach side picnic area.
There is a quieter, bay side beach, with pier and yacht club and stunning views across the Bay to Phillip Island and the Nobbies.
On the sea side there is access through the golf club to the more rugged ocean beach.
This beach is part of the National Park, the many rocky reefs provide safe swimming and snorkelling , beachcombing and surfing opportunities.
The cliffs looking over the sea are a favourite launching place for parasailing and hang glider enthusiasts. For those content to stay on the ground the cliffs are a great vantage point to quietly contemplate the beauty of nature.

THE VILLAGE itself has a number of restaurants & cafes, antique shops, clothing, gift shops,  fine art & craft galleries, a hotel, post office and a community hall. The award winning Flinders Hotel offers casual and fine dining.
The pier is a popular fishing venue. Fresh Crayfish and mussels are available locally in season. The naval gunnery school is open to the public on the Saturday before Easter. The very popular Flinders Art Show is on the long weekend in June.
A number of WALKING TRAILS in Flinders have been identified in a booklet that is provided for guests.
SPORT VENUES include the famous Flinders Golf Club. There is also a Bowling Club and tennis courts which can be hired for public use.
Motor Cyclists and bike riders find the winding roads an enjoyable challenge.
