What Makes Bridgewater Bay Special
Known for its amphitheatre-like sculpted sandstone cliffs and rock formations, this breathtaking cove is home to some of Mornington Peninsula’s best rock pools. At low tide, the sprawling rock pools of Bridgewater Bay reveal themselves, inviting visitors and beachgoers to dip into the crystal clear waters brimming with marine life. Starfish, crabs, and sea snails can be seen nestled among the rocks, while tiny fish swim between crevices. There’s also a larger natural pool out on the rock shelf for those who prefer a leisurely swim in what feels like a private ocean bath.
Surrounded by dramatic coastal scenery, Blairgowrie’s Bridgewater Bay offers tranquillity that’s rare to find anywhere else, especially when compared to the more popular beaches on the Mornington Peninsula. Even if you don’t want to go for a swim, there’s plenty to enjoy in Bridgewater Bay, from walking along the clifftop trails to simply finding a quiet spot to sit and soak in the ocean views.
