The Port Phillip Bay Eastcoast Beaches...Oh boy, what a joy

The Port Phillip Bay Eastcoast is an absolute beachlovers paradise.

There are flat, shallow, sandy long strips to the east of Melbourne and down along the Nepean Highway to the Mornington Peninsular you can experience a diverse change of scenery and shoreline.

Cliffs, sheltered coves, little private bays, stretches of ripple-sanded shallows, rock pools and sunken wrecks, boardwalks and exciting marinas, all add up to an amazing area full of unexpected delights for you and your family.

Because there are so many beaches, I have divided the Eastcoast Bayside Beaches into separate areas

Some of these are my favorite beaches so I am writing these up in more detail elsewhere in the site under Port Phillip Bay.

So if you would like to investigate a beach more thoroughly then pop on over there.

These are the Eastside Beaches of the City of Melbourne. Here you can take in the sights of a busy city at play, the skyline and watch the huge Ocean Liners docking at Station Pier. Great promenades to walk, bike ride, exercise and roller blade.

Long open stretches of sandy coastline where you can fly a kite or even kite-surf yourself when the wind is right

Oh how Dramatic. This section of coastline takes you to the very tip of the Port Phillip Bay Eastcoast beaches.

The Entrance to the bay can be seen at Point Nepean. The coastline in bold, wild and mostly for fossicking rock-climbing and exploring. Some sections are not open to the public as they are very unstable and dangerous.

There are secluded little coves for safe swimming and wonderful rocky reefs to explore.

The ocean often throws up relics from the past, beachcombing along this foreshore line can bring an exciting find.

Many a ship has floundered trying to navigate The Heads, you never know what you may find.

Watch the large cargo ships and passenger liners pass through The Heads, through The Rip

Sip a wine at the Portsea Pub, wander out along the Portsea Pier and watch the scuba divers practice their craft. Take in the breathtaking beauty of the area and imagine a time when life was more simple.

There are plenty of Port Phillip Bay Eastcoast Beaches to choose from whatever beach activity you are into.

Note, that if your activity takes you out onto the waters of the bay, be aware that this area of water can turn nasty quite quickly. Follow the weather conditions and you can be guaranteed a great day out.

Now hop on board the Passenger and Car ferry at Sorrento and lets go across the bay to the Westcoast Beaches
