French Island, Victoria's largest coastal island, is located in Western Port, 61 km (38 mi) southeast of Melbourne. In 1997, about 70% of the island was declared the French Island National Park, administered by Parks Victoria.

如何抵達

Passenger ferries leave from Stony Point to Tankerton Jetty. To get to Stony Point from Melbourne take the train to Frankston, then change trains, and take a connecting train to Stony Point. Your Myki is valid for both train journeys. It is also possible to take the ferry from Phillip Island.

The Spirit of French Island operates a vehicular barge from Corinella to Stockyard Point Ferry Terminal.
