Warrnambool police Acting Sergeant Ben Timpson said the alarm was raised at about 2.30pm, with the rescue lasting about an hour.
"An Italian tourist has been enjoying the day and gotten himself into mischief, porpoising into the sandbar and he's been taken to the Alfred," he said.
"It's just another reminder why you should be swimming at flagged and patrolled beaches."
SES, Ambulance Victoria and members of Victoria Police attended the incident.
