Corner Inlet is a large, shallow coastal estuary located in the Shire of Wellington, Victoria, Australia. It is an internationally significant Ramsar wetland, featuring the world's most southerly population of white mangroves alongside extensive seagrass beds and saltmarsh. The inlet is part of the Corner Inlet and Nooramunga Marine National Park, and its waters are managed by Gippsland Ports, which provides information on boating facilities for the area. Paddling here offers a tour through a network of islands and provides access to the spectacular headlands and beaches at the northern end of Wilsons Promontory, connected via the Yanakie Isthmus. The paddling experience can involve exciting open-water sections. The area holds deep cultural significance for the Gunaikurnai Traditional Owners, being a central part of their creation story. A number of licensed tour operators are permitted to offer sea-kayaking tours within the Marine National Park, indicating that guided commercial paddling is a recognized activity. The inlet is an important habitat for a wide range of waterbirds, including migratory shorebirds that travel vast distances, and it supports diverse native fish species. Paddlers should be aware they are operating in a protected marine national park and Ramsar site, which will have regulations in place to conserve the sensitive ecological values.
