Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village brings Warrnambool's Shipwreck Coast stories into a walkable historic setting. Start in the museum, then take your time through the village and its coastal outlooks.
Make the most of the visit
- Explore the living maritime village and museum collection for a sense of the people and vessels connected with the nineteenth-century coast.
- Join the daily heritage talk and tour if its timing suits your day.
- Allow time for the cobblestone streets, lighthouse and the coastal views rather than rushing between exhibits.
Plan ahead
Flagstaff Hill is at 89 Merri Street in Warrnambool. The venue states that the maritime village operates from 9.30am to 4.30pm, with last admissions at 4pm, and advises that the heritage village includes a steep hillside, cobblestones and uneven surfaces. Check the official Flagstaff Hill visitor information (opens in a new tab) for current arrangements and accessibility advice before setting out.
Build in a little unhurried time: the village's stories are best found while wandering between the displays, old streets and the coast.
