Around Portland
Portland is one of the best places to be on a lazy summers day. It can be argued that the foreshore is where Victoria's history truly first began: it's a fact that the character of this area makes Portland what it is today. Portland's harbour is a natural deep water port handling many hundred thousand tonnes of cargo each year, the majority for export, in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner.
The harbour is also a great place for recreational fishing. The many jetties and piers provide the perfect place to wet a line and see what you can catch. Most areas of the port are accessible to recreational fishing, from the public marinas and Fisherman's Wharf to the giant Lee Breakwater wharf that stretches out 1km into open water. All provide some excellent fishing spots with very easy access and parking.
