Beach, bush and kangaroos are what Anglesea has come to be famous for.  The Angahook-Lorne State Park looms in the hinterland area and a colony of kangaroos call the local golf course home.  There is more to Anglesea than its fresh clean air and glorious water views.

Anglesea is a recognised haven for its abundant flora, particularly rare orchids and native flowers during spring.
