Shipwreck Bay Holiday Park
Shipwreck Bay is a seasonal park, which operates during peak times over summer, the Labour Day long weekend and Easter.
Located 500m south-west of Surfside, Shipwreck was formerly known as Surfside 2.

Surfside Holiday Parks have long been a tradition for lazy beachside holidays.
The parks take pride of place on Warrnambool’s foreshore, metres from the popular swimming beach and the renowned Lake Pertobe Adventure playground.
The Foreshore Trust formalised the camping area in the 1950s and many of our regulars have been coming since that time.
The parks are now operated by the Warrnambool City Council.
History - Family Holidays For Close to 100 Years
Warrnambool Surfside Holiday Parks have been a Warrnambool destination since the arrival of the railway to Warrnambool. This area has been a favourite for locals and travellers since informal camping started in the early 1900s, and the formal creation of the Warrnambool Foreshore Trust in the 1930s.
The changing face of our Lady Bay has also mirrored the changing style of camping as the introduction of motor vehicles made family holidays more affordable and provided greater flexibity in travel options.
