Rhyll

Rhyll is a coastal township on the north-east coast of Phillip Island in Western Port Bay. It is 80 km south-east of Melbourne, and considerably further by road. It is thought that it was named after Rhyll in northern Wales.

Rhyll is situated on a bluff with coastal mudflats to its north and south and a swamp to its west. Access to Rhyll by road from the south was difficult during wet weather until a road was properly formed. In any event, access to Phillip Island was by water until the bridge at San Remo was constructed in 1940.
