San Remo Hotel

Classic country coastal pub with bistro meals and accommodation a short stroll from the jetty.

Family-owned pub on the San Remo waterfront since 1941 — three generations of the same family — with coastal views out towards the Phillip Island bridge.

The bistro cooks with fresh local produce where possible; menu staples include crispy lemon pepper squid, chicken parmesan and fish and chips, with a separate afternoon menu between services. The sports bar runs TAB, Fox Sports and the occasional live music night, and a Thirsty Camel bottle shop trades on site. Out back are six three-star motel units sleeping up to four, with en-suites and free WiFi.

Takeaway is available, tables can be booked online, and the San Remo foreshore — with its daily pelican feeding — is a short walk away.
