Corner Inlet is a vast, sheltered tidal estuary and marine park system located in South Gippsland, Victoria. It encompasses a complex network of waterways, intertidal mudflats, and marine habitats, bordered by Wilsons Promontory National Park to the south and the townships of Port Albert, Port Welshpool, and Yanakie to the north. The inlet is a significant Ramsar wetland, recognized for its intertidal mud and sand flats and marine aquatic beds. It offers diverse angling opportunities from sheltered bays and channels to the open surf of the adjacent Ninety Mile Beach, catering to boat-based, jetty, and surf fishermen targeting a wide range of iconic Australian saltwater species.
