Robe has a great mix of local and historic attractions and is perfectly positioned to use as a base for exploring the Limestone Coast.
These are some of our favourite things to do and see in Robe.
Long Beach at Robe is a safe family beach with gentle surf and is quite unique as its one of the few beaches where you are able to drive your car onto the sand. A unique part of Robe’s Heritage. Under most conditions it is safe to fish the areas close to shore from Robe jetty to Long Beach and up to one kilometre offshore. Fish that are caught in this area include whiting, flathead, salmon, mullet, garfish and the odd snapper.
The Obelisk was erected on Cape Dombey in 1852, used to navigate entrance into Guichen Bay and to store rocket lifesaving equipment. The firing of rockets carrying baskets to distressed ships to bring passengers ashore saved many lives. Later it assisted passing ships with navigation, standing at a height of 12 metres it is easily visible 20 kilometres out to sea. In 1862, after complaints by the Captains that the then white Obelisk was difficult to differentiate from Long Beach’s white sand hills, it was repainted in alternate red and white bands.

Little Dip Conservation Park conserves a number of small lakes found throughout the park. Each lake has its own unique character, ranging from the open, marshy and shallow Lake Eliza to the very salty Big Dip Lake, and the deep Fresh Water Lake. The area features a ruggedly beautiful coastline including a large area of coastal sand dunes. The foreshore of Lake Eliza was once home to large numbers of Aboriginal Boandik people some 10,000 years ago. Large number of middens (shellfish remains) left by the Aboriginal people can still be seen in the park today. The coastal scrub that gives way to thick groves of melaleuca, dense rushes and samphire flats surrounding the lakes is a haven for birdwatchers. The beaches provide good opportunities for beachcombing and surf fishing.
